Reviving black plastic bumpers??

Just wondering what recommendations people have for getting those old black plastic bumpers, flares and external trims back to a shiney finish??

Preferably some products that are non silicon based would be great as they just seem to get more dust and sh!t stuck to them.

Anything can be done champ, though your best bet would be to go see an engineer first..... especially as it'll be modifying the chassis!!

16 inch wheels will bolt up no worries and make the tire sit much nicer near the flared wheel arch on a patrol instead of making it look like a transit van on a mini wheel track. 15 inch rims don't alwasy fit on a GU.
