Default Mach 1 Faded Shaker Hood Help!

I have an 04 mach 1 and it has not been washed as much as it should have. The shaker hood has faded significantly to a dark grey instead of black. Any suggestions on something to use to restore/darken this?

Well I've read in a few places (its been a while and don't quite remember) many people use Pig Spit for their shakers even though it was originally for motorcycles. I have bought several cans and have been quite happy with the outcome. Makes that shaker so dark and it glistens so pretty in the sun

Even Amorall cleaner wipes followed by the protectant wipes will do it too. And it'll last quite a while.

Repaint it or get it powdercoated for something to actually last a reasonably long time if you live in rainy weather. If it stays sunny you shouldn't have a problem with Back to Black.

Also... I know a LMW from bodybuilding.com, are you him?

I like Back to Black. While your at it use on the cowl in front of the windshield. Holds up fairly well.
