Boiled linseed oil - very effective and cheap
Heat gun - I'd not bother
Meguiars tyre gel - still use it to this day on my cheaper valets
G techniq C4 - more expensive, but permanent
Other methods are available.

Paint comes to mind. I will tell you that on my Cabriolets, 2000 Grit wet/dry, then a plastic polish does wonders on the B-Pillars.
For the Dash if yours is black, and leather wheel, Kiwi-Quick Shine makes them look new. Even the older Air-Bag Centers will Shine and match.
What do Divorces, Great Coffee, and Car Electrics all have in common?

Kiwi instant shine shake well apply in small smooth strokes. It is very drippy and can get away from you. For my Instrument Bezel I sprayed it with 2 coats of Krylon Fusion Satin black Paint, also my rear quarter sides as well Holds up well.
Kiwi Instant Shine works on the inside. Plastics on the inside can be cleaned and shined with Plastique brand over here Polish. I wet Sanded my Door handles and used my Dremel and Plastique to get them back to OEM. I have taken old white door handles and turned them to new.

I used 2000 Grit wet/dry with water, then polished them with clear coat polish.

Can you get behind the number plate? If so you could just use standard plastic number plate screws and nuts.
