I use Klass AIO on the B pillars for cleaning and seal the surface. Then apply Black wow/CG new look trim dressing to recondition the trim
Do not use any polishes that contains silicones as it will stains the plastic and will leave some white marks.

there was a tech bulletin on this you can use a polish and hand polish it and then protect it with wax.

So Does that mean we can use rotary/DA polisher on plastics? then wax for the protection?
they had this problem on the X5's as well.
I would probably not use a rotary unless you want to chance it. There is a clear coat on that piece.
