93-97 headlight trim fading
looking at various pics of other lt1 camaros, most guy's headlight trim is dark with no blemishes at all. Mine is all faded and more grey than black. I used to use a product called Stoner's Trim Shine, and that would make it good for a few days, but not permanent. Now, living in VA, I can't find it. Any suggestions to restore it's brilliance?

I tried something that worked on my 93 camaro today--just simple Armorall did the trick, and the black is back to its origional brilliance.
I also used it on the wiperblades and that worked really well. I dunno how it will hold in the rain, but then again I don't drive when it is wet out...
Anywho, Armorall worked for me =)
goodluck

just tried to paint my uro parts headlight trim and i think it looks good! Looks similiar to the Audi TT lamps. I added 'citylights' to the high beam area, looks great...

Just wax it with some Meguiars gold class wax and see what happens. That's all I use on the '95 and it looks pretty decent. Back in 2002 I had a professional polish the car and use an acrylic sealant on all the paint, and that oddly enough turned what used to be matte black into semi-gloss black.

They polish up nicely with normal rubbing compound and glaze. Go easy, though, as the finish is not clearcoated and there isn't alot of color to work with. I had the whole thing cleared when the nose was repainted, and while not 100% stock-looking, it was hassle free and looked great.
