hi i use baby oil  :y paint it on everything plastic/rubber with a paintbrush then wipe away excess with a cloth, if you happen to have a omega pre facelift the black bumper inserts and door strips come up a treat using baby oil ,apply with a cloth , i kind of miss not having the black trim to shine up as mines all colour coded on facelift

It worked great! especially on the plastic sheet covering the fan/radiator.
