Recommendations for plastic cladding
I've noticed that the cladding on my allroad seems to be prematurely fading. Any recommendations on products you prefer to use on the trim?

mine looks like **** too - as noted its actually painted matte which is notoriously hard to take care of. any other suggestions for products to make it look even and dark again?

I ended up using Rust-Oleum Wipe New Trim Restore and it came out great so far.
Bought it off Amazon for $13 and taped off the area around the trim and applied 2 coats. It's only been about a month but its in constant sun and 90 degree heat. So far so good.

Audi has a product, but it's pretty expensive, about $1,000. I think it's called Full Paint Finish. Very low maintenance, but only comes in a handful of colors.

Fix!
I spoke to a detailer this week and even though mr clean magic erasers are a big no no on glossy clearcoat, they are ok on the rough matte trim. Used one with all purpose cleaner as a lubricant. The difference is incredible. Trim looks brand new
wiped off with a MF towel and I am very pleased
