It's hard to describe. but the strips that go on the doors (2nd gen) looks like the color is fading. Does anyone else have this problem, and if so, what did you do about it. Those strips are located on the doors, right in the center.

could you possibly mean the side moldings?

 

[Buck'00SE]

Yes. They look faded compared to the rest of the car.

 

[enyce]

mine look like a different shade. you could shave em.

 

[Sassan]

just heat them and pull them off

 

[Buck'00SE]

I don't really want to do that. Is there some product to restore the color?

i would say maybe try buffing it with a rubbing compound type solution and then wax it.....you would probably have to do it by hand though....

I was in Pep Boys today, and I saw some stuff by Turtle wax called Color Match. It uses these crayon looking sticks, along with a cream. Has anybody used this stuff, and will it work on the side moldings?

a general rule - don't get anything at pep boys. i believe that those "crayons" are jsut used to touch up.....i would not use them on the whole side molding.

Any suggestions on what to buy? I'm going over to Strauss Auto in a little while.

I went over to Strauss tonight, and the stuff is called Color Match by turtle wax. It's a polish that is colored (they have different colors) the crayon comes with this for scratches. But the bottle is a polish that is supposed to match your color. It even has a spectrum of different shades for the one particular color, in my case Gray(or Titanium frost according to Nissan). Has anybody used this, and would this work for my side panels?

i think its common for them to fade, mine are, i got an 01 ...im gonna be removing them soon though...

My moldings were never the same color as the rest of my car.

get some touch up paint from the dealer....you can get it in your factory color (FN2?) and not have to worry about it not matching.
