All the black body parts are showing some oxidation. What is the best product out there to restore them back to black?

Cerakote is probably #1, but I have no personal experience.. I've used back to black for a long time on my cars and have had success though. Key is to apply it early on in the car's life and do it periodically. It'll stay brand new looking forever if you do that.

ADS Trim+ is definitely my go to. I have used it several times. Restore plus ceramic protection all in one.

I use Cerakote wipes. They work well, but not a cure all. If only slightly faded then it will restore to like new. But heavily sun baked then it can only do so much. It will be improved but not restored. Once black plastic fades to a light gray, then it's either paint or replacement.

The cerakote wipes are good as an initial restoration product. Follow that up with 303 every other month. 303 is a UV protectant.

My car has been garage kept its entire life so it's not heavily sun baked. I've used other Cerakote products before so I think I might give it a try first.

I've only ever used Adam's VRT but my vehicles dont spend a ton of time in the sun. It's versatile and works well for me.

I purchased the Cerakote kit, have not had time to put it on yet though...but it looks killer in the videos I've watched about it...
