I think once plastic is faded,thats it.No way to put the color back in unless it is a coating like paint.
Even anodized aluminum can fade.The only way to put the color back in would be to strip and replate.
All I know is after a year of parking in the sun, I noticed my inner was turning white. I used the Son of a Gun and it looked like new.

Warranty replaced my inner fairing due to fading along the top edge above the speakers on my '08 Ultra. Had it painted to match when it came in and dealer installed it. Check my other thread-just posted it
