Rubber trim restorers/dye - HELP

I have the typical black trim turned grey/white in most areas on my car. I am debating on getting Leatherique Rubber Black Dye or Black WOW.

I want something that will fix my issue, not paint it only to have to re-do it in a few weeks so the Leatherique is my preference at this time.

Anyone have any success with this or other items?

Thanks

Mother's Back to Black should clean it right up. I've used it to clean wax off of trim, and it works great.

same here mother's back to black. doesn't leave residue and lasts a good while. I usually apply one time let dry and apply again same day.

Meguiar's #40 Vinyl & Rubber Cleaner & Restorer. Probably just needs a good cleaning and conditioning. Plus you can put #40 on anything that is vinyl and rubber ie. dash and tires so it isn't just a one time use product. Gives a good matte finish.

I just use a Mr.Clean Magic Eraser to get my trim looking black again.
