I find black shoe polish from the tin works quite well

 

apparently boiled linseed oil is good too, never try that one tho, am sure they'll be a more long winded way to refurb them too

Front and rear bumpers will ned re painting / re texturing. They are some sort of GRP and dont respond like the side trims do.

 

Side ones try a heat gun (careful! fine line between bringing them up and melting them) and some AutoSmart Trim Ultra once or twice a year.

 

People on here have tried that plasticare and seem to rate it, maybe thats the easist option for you?

Best stuff I've used (and I've used a lot of different products and polishes) is 'Black Trim Wax'. Works really well but it takes practice to use it properly.

I've not found the autoglym green gloop much good with faded plastics, at best it makes it shiney grey. The black trim wax gets and keeps it black in all fairness.

The bumpers still look this black over a year later

I use boiled linseed oil. Get it from BandQ in the garden furniture ailse.

Its about three quid and works well (one application lasts about 6 weeks)
