My 2006 LS Avalanche had been left in the sun a lot by the previous owner which greatly faded the black plastic to a light grey. I tried different "dressings" on it with little success. Mother's was the best but still only lasted a couple of weeks. Then I experimented with black oil based (not alcohol) leather dye and it was like magic. Very easy to apply. Very black and has not faded a bit in over 6 months. Less than $10 from Amazon.
 
Many many things have been tried and recommended over the last 20 years...

Most seem to like refinish restorer
 
Many older threads about faded cladding and various ways to try and restore the claddiing. As ygmn has posted most members use Refinish Restorer . It last a long time before the need to reapply.
