I use rattle can bed liner, but you may not want to do that on such a new vehicle. Wink

Chemical guys has been my go to for detailing products.
Yes sometimes a bit pricey, but quality and duration have been worth it.
Plenty of videos on their websight to achieve the results you desire.
I find better results with higher end products. Have not been disappointed with chemical guys products.
For a quick middle of the road detailer I use griots.

Penetrol available at Lowes or Home Depot in the painting section (its not a paint) worked fantastic on my old Wrangler’s faded fender flares and bumper guards. Lasted for months after.

Chemical Guys make some good stuff. I have an use a number of their products. One of my favorites is Speed Wipe. It's the best quick detail product I've used to date, and not too pricey.

Not a bad consumer grade product, but it lacks the longevity of some of the better protectants.

I've had terrible results from back-to-black.

I've had good results with 303, but the best has been using this product:

...and then keeping 303 on it every month or two. Keeps plastics looking like new. I do not have experience restoring from a severe damage though.

I used to rub corrosionX on plastics, and it gave results similar to back-to-black, and even lasted a bit longer....but nothing like the trinova product and 303.

I ordered the Wolfgang stuff and put it on today. The running boards went from a very light gray to a very dark gray. Considering where it started, I was rather happy with the result. Thanks!

quick, easy, cheap... buy a bottle of peanut oil and apply with a rag. Let sit, wash off if desired.

You can even use peanut butter but that would definitely need to be wiped off when done.
