A product from Mothers called "Back to Black" works wonders on rubber/plastic trim peices that have started to fade

yeah the mothers thing works good but unless applied properly will come of in the next wash or two. but it makes it look good and it only comes off when you are using car wash solution and a pressure washer.

I've never used anything... never has faded... they say when moldings and exterior plastics are exposed to extreme sunlight, or prolonged contact with ice, they fade. I keep mine garaged, so nofading :-)

I would just go to a parts store (Advance Auto Parts, AutoZone, NAPA, etc.) and ask them if they have a negative battery cable for your blazer, they might have something that is a universal fit too. I would just ask them since noone else is jumping on this problem. Also if you have something else to add please use the edit function instead of double posting on your thread unless someone else has responded. Thanks, hope this info helps.
Well that explains some of the fading on mine. While I am at school, my truck sits out in a parking lot in direct sunlight during the spring, summer, and fall. Then in the winter, which up here lasts for 5-6 months it sits out in a parking lot full of snow and ice and usually below freezing or zero most days.
