not to bad, but theres better out there...
gives a more natural/clean look rather then shiney, link this up with a heatgun and you will get good results..
how bad have they faded btw?

I use AG bumper care on mine, works a treat and gives a good finish, lasts a fair while too.

get some peanut oil, or put peanut butter on them, let it soak in then wipe it off with a cloth, it sounds crazy, but it honestly does work, and will outlast a lot of cheap silicone sprays

I tried peanut oil for a while, worked well the first time but then with each use became less effective.
I was impressed with Chemical Guys New Look Trim Gel when Rich H used it on my old B.

I really wouldn't recommend any oil based solutions.

autoglym looks good when done, but it doesn't last long
