Plastic Trim, best thing to use?

Hey guys figured you all would have the answer to this one. What are some of the best things to use when protecting plastic trim? I have a 02 Explorer, and would like to protect the window trim as best as I can.

Thanks!

I use the Klasse twins on my paint and fortunately you don't have to avoid the trim with the acrylic sealants (unlike waxes) - so I just hit the plastics with the Klasse AIO at the same time! Couldn't be easier!

If you're an over the counter kind of guy, Turtle Wax Ice works nicely.

Yes I have used AIO & SG also after restoring them (AU XR6 VCT)
Acrylic jett I am using now as well, wipe with medium pressure then lighten and turn over cloth and do final wipe
Then apply another three coats the following days
You could put collinite marque de elegance on there as well

If you aren't going the sealant route, any good vinyl/plastic protectant works well, I personally use 303 on trim.

I used some PB Trim Restorer last night, worked great, probably seal with AIO or maybe OCW as I've seen people do on here. This was on my Mountaineer, Ford plastic seems to fade easily. Though on my bumper showd signs of slight fading, wasn't as dark as used to be, and the plastic area around the windshield wipers.
