How do you clean up the plastic piece that goes down the length of the truck side doors. My truck is red, but the bumper on the side is starting to fade and I want to clean it up. Is there something to clean and get it shiny and newer again?

"TURTLE WAX" ICE works hecka good on plastics renews them like night and day
 
Jim. That plastic pannel is painted. It is held on by double sided tape and when removed its very flexable like rubber. Idk if they fade so quick because of the flex agents in the paint or just because there is no clear coat.

Buff it with a cleaner wax
 
Honestly, most vinyl is color infused rather than painted. I use Meguiar's Mirror Glaze Vinyl&Rubber Cleaner, then Meguiar's Vinyl & Plastic Coating or Meguiar's Supreme Shine Protectant.
