Quick fix... Bug spray. Like OFF, and a towel... I'm not joking, or a nice sanding down with a layer of clear coat...

No one has a comment on the kits that are sold on TV, etc.

Lots of products for this out there these days, but if the UV coating is compromised you'll need to put something UV-resistant back on there or they'll just get nasty again. Not all clearcoats are sufficienly UV-resistant, so use something good lest you waste your time.
On a Panther, I'd just buy new ones.

Eventually they become so porous only a poly paint will hold up.

Buy new ones.
Stick with OEM. Aftermarket can be garbage, and fall apart in less than one year.
Imo, you're better off refinishing them and clearcoating them as per sailsmen
