My rebel black front bumper is starting to look a little rough after owning for 4 years. chips and scrapes mostly. But also the grill plastic is starting to look worn from sitting in the Arizona sun. What are the best ways to restore these two items to factory new like condition?

I use this on my side by side black plastics and it works great. I'm sure it'll work good on the grill too.

Tried a bunch of plastic restorative stuff on my Titan. It eventually wears off. I then completely sprayed every piece of plastic with Rustoleum Truck Bed Coating. It's not a true bed liner product, but it's a somewhat rough, matte black finish. It stands up to the sun really well. Basically put it on everything: Fenders, grill, emblems, wiper cowl, wiper arms, window trim. Anything that had faded. It sprays evenly and holds up. These pics are from my 12 year old truck the summer before I traded it in on the Ram. Best of all, when it got damaged I just reapplied a couple more coats.

I sprayed that on my DIY bed tool box 4 years ago, it is holding up pretty well.
