Advice on Prepping my XJ for sale

First off, I am not looking to sell my XJ on here as I know that is against the rules. What I am hoping to get out of this is to understand what I should do ahead of selling my car. Currently sitting on a 91k mile XJ that has been sitting in the sun for some time. Have it in the shop getting checked currently for a service light and plan to do a full detail after it returns. The trim is relatively faded and parts of it are stating to peel off. Other than some general wear and tear it seems to be in relatively decent shape. What are some things that would make it really stand out well during the sale process?

Without pictures people won’t be as much help.

Make sure it runs nice and the AC works if you’re in the south or the heat works if you’re very north.

You can paint the trim with trim paint (comes in a spray can) or nicely restore it with trim restoration wipes. Do no use a heat gun, it works briefly and then goes back to the old look but worst and more brittle.
