Default plastic trim

The plastic trim that runs from the front door to the back, about half way up from the ground... on my 04 2.5t as well as EVERY other older S60 I see, it's all faded and makes the car look older... Does anyone know what the best product is to keep these faded plastic pieces shiny? I would assume Armor All, but is there anything else that is maybe different? Thanks for the advice.

I've read that black shoe polish works real well if it's real bad.

I like Armor All/Son of a Gun.Use an application once or twice everytime you wash the car if it's bad.

Actually it's black shoe dye, not polish. I used it on my S60 and my sons 850. Works pretty good. Better on the door strips and not quite as good on the bumpers, but it will make them look better. Cheap and easy way to spiff it up a little.
