How do I stop black trim fading to grey?

Clean it back to bare plastic, then dress or coat it. A dressing restores the dark colour for weeks, a trim coating holds it for months. UV is the enemy, so protection is the fix.

Dressing or coating for trim?

A dressing is quick and cheap but washes off. A coating takes more prep and lasts far longer. If you are tired of redoing trim every few washes, the coating is worth the effort.

Can I bring faded trim back?

Often, yes. A good trim restorer or coating darkens plastic that has gone grey. Badly damaged or chalky trim may need a dedicated restorer, and the worst cases will not fully recover.
