What to use for black plastic bumpers?

What do you folks recommend for restoring the 'blackness' of bumbers and other visible black plastic parts on the lower body of E70. Mine are already fading from carwash wax and road dirt. I tried Zaino plastic restore product but the darn thing doesn't work on it at all.

I use Mequires black trim restore. $5.49 a can and people ask me what I use as it looks nice. I also use it on the side door protector strip and the inner wheel wells.

Thanks for the tips guys. I bought a bottle of Mothers Back2Black and applied it - it looks terrific, better than when it was brand new. Very easy to apply, don't even need to buff it. I am sure that Meguiars would have worked just as well. Thanks again.
