I used johnsons baby oil on an old bit of jumbo car sponge then gently wipe off the excess with a soft cloth. It works really well and only costs about £2.50

Ive used black WOW before and it is decent stuff, however I always use meguires tyre gloss on my plastics 
works the same as everything else and saves you money as you can normally apply it with the same cloth you use on your tyres, hence not having to use as much

Just get a hairdryer on the bumper. Heat it up until its too hot to touch and then rub in some back to black. The bumper will cool down and trap the black in. Looks really good!

I used this stuff:
http://www.amazon.com/Forever-Black-.../dp/B000FOIJXQ
Forever Black Bumper restorer, dyes it back rather than just masking it like most others with an oil which makes it look black but will come off after a bit of bad weather.. did mine great! and the path when i spilt some

same here, megs tyre shine (the clear spray not the purple gel) works better than megs plastic restorer.

I tested something on my mates bumpers the other day.
Mix up some degreaser (not expensive stuff because it all works the same) something like some Daisy and clean the bumpstrips with this,then get a mixing jug with baby oil in, take a lump of black shoe polish and put it in, mix it up well. Use a brush and apply to the bumper carefuly and evenly Jobs a good un
