I get some tesco back to black on them,
I think it's called, 'Bumper and tyre restorer', its only £1.80 or something, it's worth a go.

Turtle wax - Back to Black trim cleaner, works on all colours, did mine on the weekend and it worked a treat. Really pleased will see how long it last for though

this may sound a bit wierd guys but i got told to use vaseline 8O
it does make the rubbers black but most of all it keeps them from drying out and cracking. done it a few times and does work
