The best way to fix fading matte black plastic is to sand them down, paint them body color, and then clear coat them. Took the black fade-prone flares off my JK and added white body-color panels, but one could have a body shop paint them cheap for maybe $100 or so. It'll last the lifetime of your vehicle and you won't be spending $10-20 on chemicals every now and again.

Rustoleum trim and bumper paint works well. Spray very thin coats though. They also have it in a bottle with foam applicator.theres even an XJ on the can.

And I get excellent results without sanding. Just wash and dry with Dawn. Then I use kleenstrip prep all spray.
