My old P38 Rangie suffered from faded bumpers and the front grill. After trying several useless products, I took all affected trims & grill off, pressure washed, dried & then blew em over with a matt black rattle can. Looked really good when dried too and for not much effort really......Might be an idea

I used yo use the Autoglym Bumpercare on my old PFL, stayed black for a few weeks anyway.

I've used this to great effect on my Cavalier Turbo's textured plastic bump strips:

Heat gun worked well on a 7 series I had with shadowline trim, Pbutter works very well on my Saab, done it twice in ayear

Or, I used wd40 on my old 2.5       .....no it doesn't last either. But it's to hand, and as good as that back to black shite.

Forget all the 'Products' use black shoe polish, works a treat on exterior trim........

[dbug]

+1 for heat gun

Also any cheapo silicone spray will do the job (try mould release spray)

Will the peanut butter mix with that 

[relluf]

Or just use cheap vegetable oil!
I have used that and had good results ,cheaper than peanut butter.
