Looking for some advice on getting some plastic trim back to black. Not necessarily shiny, just black. I have lots of black trim and some rubber pieces on a golf cart that have started to turn grey/white. Not apposed to armor all, but looking for a long lasting low shine product that can help.
I figure there has to be a few of you that have some experience with this sort of thing.
Thank you.

Wave your map gas torch over it . Will turn back to the original color , just don't burn it down or stay still or the grain will disappear

My most difficult part to make look good is the vents for the defroster. I tried painting a set and that didn't look right. Haven't tried back to black yet
