For the skinflint option have a go with auto glymn with the yellow square.
Even an anal grumpy sod like me is happy with the results.

I use PBR special, from partco. Not sure if it's still available, but it was pretty good. 3 applications, (wipe on let it dry) would bring back the nastiest plastics back for a year or so
