varios products m8 you can use.....

Things like back to black etc

However I dont like these coz theyre silicone based and leave an oily residue behind which means to keep the black you have to keep applying it over and over again!

Autoglym do some exterior trim cleaner (forget what it is though).

I actually got fed up with exterior trim fading so colour coded it all (bumpers) and removed bump strips

Try something like hot soapy water and a nail brush (short stubbles) top get into the nooks and crannies

I actually find super resin polish works well when applied with a nail brush but you need to ensure you wipe it off immediately otherwise it dries white!

You can also get cockpit shine

I recommend hot soapy water (proper car soap - non waxy) and elbow greese

I agree about silicone products-stay well clear from them

one thing to note is exterior trim is supposed to be dark grey not black like you thought............
