Fear of fading is why I'm going to wrap the A pillars. Not sure why the partial roof kit doesn't include that area. Hopefully they'll sell me enough material to do it, otherwise have to buy a second kit.

Love 303 products. I’ve used this one for years on mostly the Interior plus plastic trim on the outside. First found out about it from a friend that had a small plane, evidently it’s popular among that group who are always searching for the best products. And yes, I grew up on Armor All and STP Son of a Gun like a lot of you but this is a much better product and dries to a matte, non greasy finish.

Everyone with a Jeep or Bronco experiences this regularly (roof, fender flares, etc.). There's plenty of surface coatings that will restore to Black (not gray/charcoal), but I have a feeling the there will be plenty of options available when these hit the streets. Simple Armor All will also solve this issue for some people.

Yeah it's odd that the A-pillars are excluded like that to me as well, and I plan the same to get the A-pillars wrapped. Going for the whole cab area in one of the silvers honestly to reject as much heat as possible and a roughly matching silver tint on the rear glass as well.
