Griots is the best for bumper restoration. Hands down.

 But you gotta use their cleaner/stripper stuff first.

Re: 2003 H2 with 12" lift and 42s
I have the Meguiars, it's worked great in the past. The truck has been in the shop for the past 3 months, I'm planning on giving it some TLC this weekend.
Total overall height is now 8' exactly. All parking decks and most drive thrus are off limits, as well as a few overpasses around town.

I didn't use the cleaner/stripper first, just a good wash, and my Griot's lasted for close to two years.

Nothing comes close to Griots! I'm getting close to 3 years with 1 coat of Griots and just now could barely could use another coat.
Griots > All

Just ordered some Griots, will be here by Friday. I never really noticed the bumper until you guys pointed it out, ouch, it IS in bad shape.

Re: 2003 H2 with 12" lift and 42s
I put mine on in 2009. And re-applied only to the rear bumper last year. It wasn't all that bad just starting to dull out.
The rest of the areas, front bumper and hood scoop, has held up great.
I think I was going at the rear bumper too much with the pressure washer. Between that and the soaps the car washes use it just wore off a bit.
FYI I used denatured alcohol to to prep.
Learned about the stuff here. I was in looking at some duplicolor the other day and noticed they have a spray on rubber/bumper restorer. Seemed like more of a paint than a dye. I figured if it was worth a sh&t I'd have read about here or the detail forums I visit once in a while.
But ya.... you're bumper is faded...

Re: 2003 H2 with 12" lift and 42s
IIRC i used either the Groits or the mothers back to black, and did all my plastic, and hood vent as well. still looks great.. a little faded but it has been some time now with a 1 year deployment in there too..
maybe its time to touch up
