Default Black trim turning white

I just purchased a garage kept 2001 C5. When I got it home I noticed that there were 2 areas where the black trim were turning white.

1) area behind the gas peddle
2) the corners of the trim piece that is under the convertible top.

Any ideas how I can blacken this up ??

Thanks JOE

It is a long story,,,my '12 GS sat outside the car builder's shop in the Florida sun and the rear wheel well trim was so bleached no trim restore product would get it back to OEM until I used the product in the link below.

Clean and restore the trim. Really any trim restorer will work. I use VLR or carpro perl.

Solution Finish is the best that I have used. I used it on my Element and the panels came out beautiful. Gotta be careful because it will stain your clothes.
