The Elders say Poorboys Trim Restore and some Hyper-Dressing do the trick

i've never tried either one of those but have used the Mother's Back to Black and it seemed to work well. Took a few applications.....

I have back and black and was told by 'the elders' that they would write me off if they ever saw me use it on my truck.

They are about a 6 out of 10 (10 being the worst). I have seen alot worse, but for a new truck, I screwed them up somehow. I'll snap a pic later this afternoon.

does this truck sit outside day after day, or in a garage?

Anyway, doesn't really matter, all of these products are temporary fixes meaning they will look great at first then over time (in some cases depending on the product only a few hours) they will stop working or wash off.

If you are going to order one of those two listed, get the Poorboys product. The trick is in the application. It takes 3 coats. I know this from experince and I use the product often, it's the best of the trim products that I have tried and I have tried alot of them.

1. apply and allow to dry (20-30 min), then buff off with a MF
2. Repeat
3. Repeat and after you buff this third time. Wait another 30 min and buff it again.

After you treat these areas, you can detail as normal and use Hyperdressing on them as needed, it will only help the fenders look better longer.

If you need a miracle worker you need something stronger.

Please read my comments again. He wants to "bring them back to life"

I love Hyperdressing but he has to restore the look first.

Hey Luke,
I've posted this a few times but if they ever get really bad you can try the Showroom Trim Restore from ADS.
Good luck!!!

is the PB Trim Restorer just a topical product? the showroom new stuff that is supposed to dye it back seems like a more permanent solution.
