Blacklight can help bring out coloration differences even if the area afflicted doesn't floresce. At least it shows different colors when I do it. And the times I have had cards come back recolored, upon second look, they always have been. As for detecting trimming. I think it's an art. Also if you look at enough lower end and well worn cards you can see patterns. My recent loupe acquisition helped a lot. Good luck.
