I think it’s likely from being parked outside and exposed tot he elements... without regular washes. Is there a product that can restore its appearance? What can I try?https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.clublexus.com-vbulletin/732x975/2_8427e45d49241c2add8aa3323c52aa7e1dfc7b82.jpg

I'm impressed with Cerakote Trim Coat so far on two cars I've used it on.

You could try Solution Finish as well

The trim looks a lot like a rubber compound.

If it is, use a dedicated rubber cleaner to purge all of the embedded contaminants and follow up with a rubber or trim restorer.

After using a restorer, you can apply a ceramic coating to ensure it won’t happen again.
