Many will have their own methods/secret sauces...
On our '01, I use Zaino on the shiny plastic window pillar parts. Barely a water spot in 11 1/2 yrs.

On the trim you mentioned, a careful wash, maybe using Dawn to cut whatever is on there, and I use any of a number of black trim prods, whatever I have and is handy. Currently using Meguiar's Natural Shine Protectant, as my local AZ always has it, it isn't expensive, and works for me. I apply it gently and thoroughly with the toe end of an old cotton sock over my fingers. I may or may not go back and wipe gently with clean rag...

There are dozens of 'back to black' prods out there in car care land. You may need a more viscous, pigment filled prod for your first app, if the the trim is really lightened and crummy.

Also, check out the Detail Forum on this site, and a vendor called Detailer's Domain: they have a plethora of high end car car prods.
