sun faded reels

Has anyone found a way to recondition sun faded reels. I have a couple of 47lc's that turned from black to grey from the sun and id like to make them look new again.
Thanks guys

    I havent used it on Reels so I would use caution about getting it on the line but S100 and/or Pig Snot both work very well in the black plastic and wrinkle coated steel parts on the Harley and everything else I have used it on to bring the color back. Just make sure they are really clean first as it will lock the dirt in.

    Try some rubbing compound that gray is oxidation it should come up with rubbing
