As has been recommended, Autoglym trim is worth a look at.

I’d give it a good clean first, to ensure as clean as possible and that you’ve no previous products present - a good citrus or APC sprayed on, agitated and rinsed off well, dry it and then apply your dressing…

Hi
I picked up some autoglym gel after the recommendations and the trim does look better, however we have not seen much rain since applying so will have to see how it goes. I don’t think i cleaned the trim as much as I should have done so if the finish doesn’t last it’s probably because of that.

Post your thoughts up - will help others looking.

It’s so easy to apply, even if you need to do it every 4-6 months, it’s no hardship.

Cheers
