There have been posts on this fairly common problem, but to save you time, I've had good luck with Mothers Back to Black that I picked up at Walmart.

I've been thrilled with the Griot's stuff. I've tried just about everything and so far, nothing touches this stuff.

I'm over 60 days since my first application now. No fading whatsoever. Truck sits out in the sun most days and gets washed with a powerwasher once a week.

So far, so good!
