Peanut butter, smooth not crunchy.
I'm assuming your bumpers are like those on my RR and are unfinished dark grey plastic. If that's the case then try this stuff http://www.autoglym.com/enGB/product-proddetail.asp?v06VQ=EM&Range=1 I use it and it's very good.

Or cooking oil rubbed on with a rag.

I have heard that a hot air gun / hair dryer can be used to warm the plastic and restore the colour.

I would suggest Horlicks original, not the lite stuff, a good mug full just before bed and I bet your bumpers wake up fresh as a daisy.

Don't use oils or 'back to black', its simply a silicone spray that only looks reasonable for a few days & as we all know, silicone is a sod to be rid of!!
Get this from e-bay:
Forever Black Dye Kit - Trim and Bumpers - A must have! on eBay (end time 12-Mar-11 18:45:02 GMT)
Its a permenant ABS dye & WONT come off or fade, it comes with a plastic de-greaser/cleaner & MUST be thoroughly used to be rid of old oils etc.
It evaporates quite quickly, & the 'depth' of black is built up over several coats.
Be carefull not to get it on the paintwork as it don't want to come off!!
I did all the black on mine 2 years ago & it still looks great, makes a hell of a difference to the look of the car.

I've used a hot air paint stripper on my girlfriends Gaylander and they looked pretty good when I'd finished. That was a couple of months ago and they still look good.
But a word of warning it only works on some plastics so make sure you do a test somewhere out of sight!
