It's in pretty good shape and insted of spending $ there I can put it in another place on the boat.

I read somewhere that there is a product that could bring it back to life.

Does anyone have and experience or thoughts?

If it's the OEM style with a U-shaped spray deflector on the bottom side, you'll have a hard time finding one to match it, so I'd be inclined to keep it! I ordered one like that from a SeaCraft dealer in the late '70's to replace my aluminum rub rail. It's very functional and does a good job of knocking down the spray when you punch into a big head sea! I'd try cleaning it real good and then going over it with something like Back to Black plastic restorer.
