I'm not having any problems with that so far, almost a year now. It is hard to leave plastics out in the sun without them fading, and it's just something that is almost impossible to reverse. 
Trim Fading

Its sad but its true, especialy black plastic:shakehead:I'm not having any problems with that so far, almost a year now. It is hard to leave plastics out in the sun without them fading, and it's just something that is almost impossible to reverse.
Enjoy
Was unhappy when I bot Caliber in latter autumn because I knew the coming winter would lower my MPG. But from this thread alone, I now am glad I bot when I did. Here in Washington State at the 48th parallel with the winter sun:4-sunshine: only 19 degrees off the horizon, the sun hasn't faded my black plastics yet. I second Prop1's suggestion: anyone finding a plastic fading solution HAS TO POST HERE....on threat of dire consequences if you don't. I hate faded plastic things...they look so antique when they're barely out of being new.

I bought some stuff a few years ago called Forever Black. I had forgotten about it, and started searching for something after my last post. I was going through a detailer's site and came across it again. It worked great a few years ago, so I ordered some. It says in the description it fills in the plastic pores and dyes the plastic black, and will not damage the paint. It's suppose to last 2-3 years with one application. I should get it sometime next week, and I'll let everyone know the results.

Here is one website that sells it.....http://www.autogeek.net/forblacbumtr.html or check out the store locator from the manufacturers web page....http://www.foreverblack.com/locator.htm there are 4 dealers in New York, maybe one is near you. Hope this helps you
The Forever Black arrived yesterday. I'll wash the car this weekend, and apply it. Before and after pictures will be in order.
Yes I did. I've also decided that being the way I feel right now, this is the last time I will be washing my Caliber. It's physically too much for me anymore.did you take before shots?......patiently waiting for the after shots!

If I lived closer my friend.....I would gladly do it for you.
I'm curious about both results, more so the flash update, as my trim is not faded.....yet!
Well, here's the pictures. I'm disappointed as what's obvious to the naked eye, is pretty much lost by the camera.
