Greying bumpers etc

I have yes thanks for that. Will have a go with the linseed oil. Looks like today will be a good day to do it too

Nikwax boot wax, very cheap and lasts well

I uses this stuff about every 2 months does a good job and looks great after
but wear rubber gloves or your hands end up the same colour as the bumper

Stove polish works a treat and you get a similar beading effect to that of using wax.

I used kiwi liquid shoe polish last weekend it's stained my bumpers a very dark gray and looks ace it's survived the heavy thunderstorms we had today and still looks ace

I applied directly from the bottle and then.rubbed it in with a cotton cloth as it looks streaky until you use the cloth

I've used the car plan black car wax and it works a treat. The car looks younger see what you mean about turning your skin the same colour even wearing gloves it somehow managed to get through. Oddly enough it hasn't made my hands look younger

Update from the kiwi bumpers dept. They are still dark and shiny I'm going to put a second coat on to hopefully darken a little more but it's the only thing I have used that's staying a decent finish.
Tried loads of different tricks including heat gun, flame polish with a blow torch and peanut butter

Kiwi...... It's the way forwards

This is a sad "after story" for this thread. You need to get out your camera and give us a before and after photo.

I can't post pics from my phone bud sorry but it definitely works

Gave olive oil a go great results for pennies

Yes, hot air gun

I was told to remove all marks (polish etc) with a normal pencil rubber and the use the liquid cherry wax shoe polish. Works brillant. I always put some silicone spray on top.
