In particular the front lip spoiler and sill end covers - any suggestions?
TIA

Autoglym Vinyl & Rubber Care
I just done my Gimp Mask and it's come up beautifully

Hair dryer and then liberal coatings of peanut butter will also do a great job on very faded black plastics/rubber.

Good soaping with a microfibre mit, dry thoroughly, then Autoglym Bumper Care (as it used to be known...I think The Gimp above has quoted the current product label due to familiarity from regular purchases...)
Have gone back to needing this since getting the MINI...neither the Octavia nor Elise really had any exterior vinyl of any note. The MINI is draped in the stuff...
