Yellowing Exterior Trim
I have some type of belt trim plastic or something. It has turned a pale yellow. Is there any cleaner or other product that would bring this trim back to near white ?
Any information is appreciated.

Try using the magic eraser....I've had some success with the same issue using these cleaning pads.

Awesome, from the dollar store. HOWEVER, try a diluted mix first and NEVER let it run down the side of the rv. It is a strong product and will "etch" the finish. I tape paper towels or shop towels underneath whatever I'm cleaning.

A lot of that trim is made from PVC so regular PVC pipe cleaner should do the job. Cheap too. Pete

I painted mine with Rustoleum and haven't had a problem with them since. I would suggest painting as with the other solutions, you are removing some of the surface to restore the damaged area. UV rays are what is damaging the surface.

I used rustoleum for plastic. Do a good job cleaning and spray on a windless day.

A rag dampened with Westley's Bleachwhite (whitewall tire cleaner) will remove yellowing from plastic. Caution_ too much will etch plastic to a grainy surface. Rinse thoroughly after using Westley's.
