Bit of an old thread but i can't recommend this stuff enough:
http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/engine.../prod_851.html
Yes, it is expensive but it is amazing stuff and lasts for ages, make sure you watch the video it is that easy and does last as long as they claim too.

I tried that G4 stuff aswel once, I wasn't really impressed with it if I'm honest. Sure it will darken the faded plastics a bit but I didn't find it to get it anywhere near as dark and rich a colour as it should be. With regards to how long it lasts though I don't know as it's stayed on the shelf since

Nobody mentioned Aerospace 303?
Once I started using that I never looked back!
To be fair though, once the trim is faded badly the only option may be a respray to get it back to factory standard.
