I think someone has used baby oil with a heat gun and it says for much longer.

I use tyre stuff on dull bumpers, brings them up pretty nice but it doesn't last for ever

you can use a plethora of things, from linseed oil to off the shelf trim restorers
the general consensus is that these two methods provide the longest fix...
a heat gun or this product but it's not cheap.
