Auto Glym bumper care's the best thing I've used.
There's the heatgun trick but I don't like that after melting one of my arches

The heatgun trick can be a bit iffy and not always work. If you hold it in one place for too long then it will start to warp, and could melt if left even longer like Mike said 
I used shoe polish but wouldn't recommend it as it looked streaky in the sun, kind of like oil in water. Peanut oil can work but is less effective each time you use it. They never got any better than grey in the end.
Chemical Guys Trim Restorer works pretty well, but will need topping up regularly.
This is how mine looked after it was applied to the arches and bumpers:

You have clearly never painted anything properly! For things like bumpers I would try and make sure you have a spare pair while you do this
