    Hi All,

    My wife has a 2010 Prius 3 owned it since new the rear piece on the hatch was once black now faded bad.
    The car is polished 3X annually due to East Coast weather and the paint is new excellent condition, many do not believe the car is a 15 year young daily driver. But that rear piece is bad.

    Does anyone know what it is called, and more important -- does anyone have a suggestion what can be used to get some of the color black back ? Something - tried and true ?

    It feels like plastic, not sure the material. Please see the picture attached.

    Thanks,
    Bob
