I've gone a more commercial route, and am trying a couple of different (meguiar's and mother's) rubber restorers on some really oxidized bumper-ends (for a Japanese car). So far, both are doing OK but neither is outstanding- grey resurfaces after a few days. I like the organic approach, tho- I'll have to find another rubber bit to do an a/b/c test on!
