Clean:
regular wash like the rest of the truck


Recondition:
If it's not painted: turtlewax black chrome (harder to find) or mother's back to black. I like turtlewax colorcure black wax too, but that would work better for painted cladding. I used it on unpainted and it works good too. http://sytyarchives.com/howto/viewarticle.php?article_name=cladding_care.php&dir=car_care

Some will say if you ever plan on painting cladding avoid using anything because it causes issues with paint adhesion.

I the cladding has truly dull do what I did.....Bust out the nematic buffer with foam pad and diamond cut compound and it will come out just like new...just be careful not to burn through the paint! ;) The before and after is amazing on my trucks cladding.
