my old, faded exterior shutters look new again. i found a product called Shutter Saver and it very easy to use. did not have to take shutters down which saved me tons of time and effort. i just cleaned and brushed on 1 coat that restored the color to what they were when i bought them 5 years ago. Great product and highly recommended. i bought on amazon but for those interested check out shutter-saver.com I'm going to use in on my front door that keep fading too.
