Turtlewax Ice
All you need is some Turtlewax Ice and some elbow grease. It helps if it's warm outside and your Jeep has been sitting in the sun.
Here is before wax is added to the fenders
This is the side that I already applied the Ice to.
Here is the front bumper half-done..
And.... after I got done buffing with a microfiber towel.
It may not be as permanent as repainting or adding herculiner.. But it gets the job done

This spring, I noticed my plastic bumper trim pieces are becoming faded. After reading this entire thread, I was still not sure which product I should buy. I definitely wasn't interested in applying peanut butter or peanut oil. Then today, I was watching TV and saw a product advertised called "Detail Doctor". They said on TV that it's available at Wal-mart and Autozone. I went to Wal-mart and did not find it. I did find it at Autozone for $16.99. $2.00 more than they advertise on TV.
Also at Autozone, I ran across a similar product by Turtle Wax called "Trim Restorer" $9.99. I didn't see either of these products mentioned in this thread. I decided to purchase Detail Doctor.
Both products seem to describe what most are looking for.
- Lasts for months
- Restores faded and stained plastic trim
- It's not a stain
- Does not leave a glossy look or oily residue
I wanted to try it out today and post some pics, but it's going to rain today and it says you should not get the treated parts wet for at least 5 hours, since it could cause streaks. However, it says if you do get it wet to just reapply it to remove the streaks.
Here's some videos on both products:

WipeNew is the best I've tried so far. Its outlasted other products like Armorall, aerospace 303, back to black, so far one month and the mirrors, door handles and bumper still like new. So far so good . Walmart has it for $20.
