For a short-term fix, Mothers Back to Black. For a long-term fix, Dawn dishwashing detergent and a stiff-bristled brush.
Once they have faded, the only thing you can do is to re-dye them. Griot's Garage makes a good plastic dye that comes in a shoe polish like applicator that works pretty slick.

Once you re-dye them, a periodic application of 303 Protectant will keep 'em looking like new. The black trim on my '97 BR still looks like the day it left the showroom.
Hope this helps!
