I've had great success getting rubber, vinyl and plastic back to it's original color by using Mother's Back-To-Black.

It's a gel that restores the black to your non-painted surfaces. Very easy to apply, which is why I've stuck with it for a few years now. Especially helpful when I need to get wax off rubber/plastic pieces I had accidentally gotten wax on.

Fairly cheap, plus the 8 oz. bottle will last you a while too!

Pick one up sa Hans Tools sa Shangrila Mall.

Mother's Back to Black needs to be buffed? All I do is to wipe it on, and it's good to go!

I'll give Stoner Trim Shine a try too. Which one is more expensive?

you're not supposed to leave it on coz it'll attract dirt... B2B doesn't clean trims, it just dresses it... it's a good product, but there are better ones... the most popular trim restorer in the US is a cleaner + dye product called Forever Black... it's the best for plastic, unpainted bumper restoration...

Since you're in the US, I suggest you purchase them online, Stoner's Invisible Glass is also considered to be one of the best glass cleaners out there... http://www.stonersolutions.com

I believe that they give out special offers like buy one trim shine and get 2 cans of invisible glass free, etc... Check your Motor Trend, Car and Driver and Automobile magazine ads... they usually have it there...

Ooh, learn something new everyday!

I have to bonk myself over the head cause it turns out I never read the instructions for the Back-to-black right! theveed, you're right, you do have to buff after applying it!

I seem to be very fortunate that my plastic trim hasn't attracted that much dirt over the years

Thanks for the tip! Very much appreciated! :D
