I'm looking for the same thing.... the best thing i have found is a product call back to black by Mother's. Auto stores sell it. The thing about it is it requires several coats and fades again in about a week. My bumpers are black plastic and though about painting them a flat back but with that any oil or grease on the bumpers the paint will peel. That's all I've got for you. Will keep looking at your responses for the answer as well.

There are some plastic polishes available but not all that easy to find or use. Ask in your local accessory shop. If the plastic is hard, the stuff you have might work OK, but you will have to do a lot of rubbing. Maybe a buffing wheel? Why not search for plastic polishes on the net?

Not sure, there are some headlight lens refinishing kits out the maybe you could find one that is good for regular plastic too. Although headlight lens are much harder than regular plastic so it may be hard to get it to shine. I assume a buffer and some sort of light abrasive polish will get the plastic to shine up.

Hi!
t-cut won't be any good for that prob make it worse..
Go to your local motor discount store & get back to black, I myself use vinyl gel, thats what most car valeters would use. with vinyl gel it will bring up that nice shine but I would apply it again after it drys, it is really easy to use & you only need a tiny bit.
If the plastic has turned into more like a grey'ish whitey colour then black shoe polish.
I've even heard of people using a hair dryer to bring the colour back to black, I'd be careful tho of that & don't stay in one place too long as it melt!
or respray ; )

There is an automotive product called armourall.
It enhances colour and shine and protects from UV.
Otherwise try a silicone based spray.

Meguiars Trim Detailer is probably your best bet. You'll find with the rest of the polishes and waxes.

Don't laugh - try boot polish.
