I noticed today that the wide black trim pieces next to the windows is starting to discolour. What do people use to rejuvinate these?
Thanks

Pop into a car accessory shop & get som Autoglym vinyl & trim dressing or if it is available plastic conditioner - this is the green sludge but that may not be the retail name for it as I buy the trade container,that is if it is available anyway on the retail market!

...........or replace them, as I did. A reasonably straightforward job.

A quick squint at the Autoglym website makes me think it's called 'bumper care' for retail, says it's good for all exterior trim etc.

Not tried it personally, I've got the Meguiars version called gold class trim detailer. That can leave a slightly tacky/waxy finish initially, but seems nice enough once it's properly dried.
