Plastic Trim Dressing?

Well I have a 2012 Mini Cooper Hatch (R56) and its about 4 months old. I have quite a bit of plastic trims especially on the lower half of my car. I have heard people tell me that they put like "back 2 black" dressing on their plastic trims. I absolutely don't have any wax/polish residue so is it necessary for me? I am sorry I am new when it comes to "plastic trims". Should I still put "dressing" or is it not necessary?

If it's still nice and dark and not fading due to sun/weather exposure, no need.

When it does come time to dress it, do not waste your time and money on Back 2 Black. It will look good... for about a month. Maybe. Get the good stuff.... Black Wow.
