Sprucing up the car, few questions people

So today I have spent mostly cleaning the car and getting the odd jobs tidied away. My biggest bug bear at the minute is the 'greying' of my bumpers and wheel arch plastics. Can anyone recommend a decent product or 'tricks of the trade' to get them up to top condition and black? I know there are millions of products out there, in this case I need something to blacken pretty darn good.
Cabby people - What at would you recommend for a roof product, for general protection etc?
Many thanks

If they are too far gone the only way is using a heat gun. Plenty of guides on you tube for this ( and the peanut trick!)

Roof protection: is it vinyl or mohair? You shouldn't need anything for a mohair roof as they have a butyl rubber layer bonded to the underside of the outer skin - just wash it with warm water and use a stiff brush to remove any marks.

Deffo some good options there, I really appreciate your suggestions! I have heard the peanut trick before but not so familiar on the heat gun option!
Time to have a dab of experimentation and let you know how I get on!
Many thanks

Renovo products have good results on my vinyl hood the cleaner and then proofed seems to do nicely.
