Mine are starting to fade pretty badly now.

I have back to crap and don't like it one bit

Try soaking your hand in some potato grease and rubbing it on the sills, that's about the same equivalent.

ROFL (lol)

Turtle Wax Ice...for weekly/bi-weekly treatment...easy to use and it lasts a while...It's good for preventing, not so much for treating the problem

I think painting them would be best. I have been debating for a while what to do... Back to black works, but like mentioned, not too effective in the long run.

Or save yourself the hassle and buy new ones if they're really bad. They're $50 each from protegegarage.

That's a pretty expensive fix, and it isn't going to last. Another four years and the new ones will look as bad as the old ones. On the other hand, a can of good flat black black plastic paint is what, $10? The main problem I see with paint is that to do it right the strips must be removed from the car, and the plastic clips on these strips are very fragile so doing that may break more of them.

If yours are pitted like mine then nothing will save them in the long run.
