A heat gun, warm them up gently and they will start to go black again, dont melt the plastic tho!

Try black liquid shoe polish, otherwise the blow torch works wonders...

Vinyl Dye, Halfrauds sell it

CarPlans's Black trim wax was the best i found, took a while to apply but lasted for ages.

auto glyms vinyl conditioner i use but never actually had dis-coloured trim so it must work.but don,t know if it actually restores it.

There's acres of black plastic on the Mi16, and there's alot of old polish welded into it. Not easy stuff to shift at all. Would the heatgun help?

Pencil rubber will shift the old polish on it. Heatgun just brings them back to black like on corsas etc

Tried the pencil rubber already and it won't budge it. I'm thinking super hot soapy water and a hard nailbrush might work
