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

 :y trick of the trade when i was valeting , baby oil in a empty auto glym bumper shine bottle , no-one ever knew the difference and i worked at bmw,porsche ect , another tip for badly soiled black carpets if the shampoo no longer works , all the doors open and a tin of satin black spray paint looks like brand new carpet in seconds

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