Welcome to MOL!
Here are a couple good options:Gold Class Trim Detailer or #38 Tire & Trim Dressing Gel
You apply them with a applicator pad or similar. I like to then wipe off the excess to prevent streaking. I prefer these types of products over spray on... IMO there is more control with a wiped on.Brandon

In the Chevy Avalanche Fan Club site, they are talking about a product called Refinish Restorer or something like that.2008 Chevrolet Avalanche LS, Sunburst Orange

Chevrolet actually put out a service bulletin that recommended Trim Detailer when the Avalanche was first introduced.Originally posted by OrangeCrush View Post

Plastic doesn't absorb very well so most dressings tend to be topical and for this reason you want to wipe any excess off of whatever you use.
Even if you dye it with some kind of dye product that finish will go down hill and you'll have to do it over again so there is no permanent solution just like there's no permanent wax or wax that last 5 years.
Best thing to to is to try a few products until you find one you like and then use it regularly to key word, maintain the appearance of the plastic.

Re: Avalanche Cladding
I'd just like to share something with you guys even though this thread is old, Mr clean magic eraser for your textured black plastic exterior trim.
I get wax on my black side molding all the time, I simply mask it off once im done and rub it down with a fresh magic eraser and it's perfect / like new.
DO NOT TOUCH THE PAINT WITH THE ERASER IT'S AN ABRASIVE.Comment

Re: Avalanche Cladding
The company website provides a link to the below thread,
I scanned through it and there are mixed reviews, it does appear to be some kind of dye and not a dressing from what I read, maybe someone can verify so that everyone is very clear on their options.
It's one of those things where each person will need to do their own research and decide what they thing is best for them and their plastic and what they're willing to pay for it.
Environmental conditions will be a huge factor for any products performance as rainy, wet environments aw well as frequent washings will tend to make it necessary to re-apply dressings more often.
There is no permanent solution however... kind of the downside of some plastics...
