Just remember to test in an inconspicuous area as some plastic surfaces it won't work on. I'm planning on trying it on other bits of trim in the next few days.

Looks good. There are also some cleaners out there that are suppose to do that as well. I personally haven’t tried any though. Nuall or something like that. Renu, wipe new I think makes one.

I've tried both mothers and turtle wax brand trim restore and they indeed make it look new, albeit for a few days and you have to reapply. I'm just too lazy for that, however that trim restore does a decent job at making the rubber trim around the windows look new again.
