Maybe this could take the zebra stripes out of my grey lower bumper The forever black dye I have might turn out crappy on bigger pieces than I have tried anyway.

Yeah i know sounds wierd but it works pretty good. Im thinking the heat (mild) brings out the oils in the plastic but doesnt dry them out. From what I have seen its like putting new plastics on. It will bring the color back in them but eventually like everything with time and sun abuse will go back to the faded look. I only had to do my plastics once and lasted a little more then a year untill I traded my truck in. I say worth the minimal time and effort.
