Does it restore the areas that look gray? Mine are looking rough and if it works i'll be getting some soon, can you find the product at any auto store?

Mine were white (I think due to wax ) and had a rougher texture (like sanded) They came out like new ... It lasts months so far ...
There are several detailing shops online that sell it , I've never found it at the local parts store ... It's pricey but four drops did the entire truck including the wiper shrouds and bumpers

I used "Mothers Brand Back to Black".
I also had that problem on the top of the arches where they were white and rough. I suspect this was because someone used a buffer with wax or buffing compound and they roughed up the plastic.

The Back to Black worked out alright for me. The rough areas aren't too forgiving. I tried applying the polish with a cammie cloth and the rough areas sucked pieces of the cloth into it. :( Not cool.

I suspect the way of getting it into the rough areas would be an old tooth-brush or something.
