Re: Some off label product testing on plastic trim..
I used Gatorback on my avalanches many years ago. GatorBack: Home of Automotive Plastic Restoration Products might give it a try. Others may have other ideas besides just painting them lol.

If the coating doesn't work out try Sonax PNS on the trim. Works outstanding.

Re: Some off label product testing on plastic trim..
I used the old version of the McKee's paint coating on pebble trim a lot of times and it always did a great job. None of the cars were in bad shape and so the trim already looked fine. An alcohol wipe does wonders for trim prior to the coating (sometimes several alcohol applications), and I imagine the BlackFire prep product did the same job. Did you wipe down the surface with the BlackFire prep until no more dirt came off on the towel?
Also, it's possible that the solvents in the paint coating are "eating away" whatever the DP coating prep polish left behind that the BlackFire prep didn't affect. I always smelled alcohol with version one of the McKee's paint coating, but there may be other solvents in there too. Did your sock pull up any dirt or did it otherwise get discolored at all as you applied the coating? Heck, maybe the sock did it.
I've noticed that Opti-Seal does a fantastic job at making trim look very nice and as a bonus it protects it too. Try spraying Opti-Seal on a plastic trim piece, like the fender flare on the truck, and then quickly apply it evenly with an applicator. It does wonders for me every time.

Please let us know how it goes. I've had good luck with Paint protect on black plastic.

Re: Some off label product testing on plastic trim..
Nice to see it’s working for you. I agree with Ochnob about applying PNS and also in some instances I use BSD to top. Both work fantastic. IME the prep polish topped with a good lsp work better at restoring smooth trim better than any dedicated trim product I’ve tried.

Heat gun and some 303 as a follow up will make it look like new.
