I used some Turtle wax extrememe cockpit and bumper shine stuff, works wonders and lasts for ages but its a F****r to get off your paintwork.

I always use the autoglym bumper care stuff, it comes up looking really nice but doesnt last all that long. I was chatting to a guy who works in a shoe shop and he's always used black heel spray on his bumpers, he got me a can of the stuff but I have yet to try it, apparently it works wonders and lasts, I'll give it a go and let you know the results!!!

olive oil might be worth a try!

As someone mentioned earlier, i've been told that using a heat gun is the best method as it actually lifts the polymers back to the surface of the plastic, thus making them good as new again!
