Does anyone know what kind of cleaner/restorer to use on the fake wood plastic toe rails? Mine are sort of faded and it would be nice to make them look better.

There is no chemical way to remove the UV affected layer on the surface. To make the composite look fresher and not sand, you can try silicone oil. Will last a year or so and will bring back the fresher look.
You can find silicone oil type product in automotive stores. Buy the one that has some UV protection value.

Did it work? I have the same issue on our 2012 SO379. I am concerned that an automotive product might run or streak onto the hull with rain and water action. I also have teak on the cockpit floor, and the rails near the hatch that I want to freshen up. I do NOT want to use Cetol or any other varnish or lacquer as I prefer the more natural look. Any other suggestions would be helpful.

I find that a good scrub with a firm bristle brush removes a lot of the pale film that builds up over time on the fake teak toe rails. I do it twice a season. No special soap required unless there is black or green slime discoloration.
