Looks like the PO tried to paint the rear spoiler, it comes up OK when treated with Autoglyn rubber dressing however quickly fades to different shades. Anybody tried to restore rubber successfully.........(insert your own joke here)[:D]
 
Smooth peanut butter!! you might laugh but it works got this tip from one of the concours articles I've read but can't remember where.

Its actually the oil from the peanuts that do the trick, evenly spread onto the spoiler
(or any other rubber parts) and buff gently with a lint free cloth, out of direct sunlight.

 
I used one layer of the turtle black chrome, it was very faded before, I laid it on thick and even and rubbed it in. let it lay for about 3 minutes and then buffed it off with a lint free clotch, came up fantastic and its not faded yet (2months later)
 
I find no problems with it

Back to black is a total waste of time as it is effectively a paint, it does not feed the rubber.

Try autoglym bumper care, and re-apply it many times over a period of weeks so it soaks into the rubber itself.

I really like the Wonder Wheels trim and tyre dressing, it lasted the best of anything I tried (but that didn't include peanut butter nor boot polish [:)]) and was quite cheap for such a big bottle (probably bought at Costco) which will last me years.
 
Boot polish really is great stuff on that sort of surface, the stuff in the bottle/stick with a sponge applicator on the end is particularly easy to use.

I use it to blacken the entire roof of my MX-5 (vinyl hood) and it lasts a long time.
 
bit of necromancy on this thread rather than start a new one.

Used Auto-Glym Bumper Care on the rubber rear wing as it was looking a bit flat. After 4 dys of rain its still beading nicely. Easy to apply, buffs off to a even satin finish.

Had the stuff in the shed for ages (part of a gift set) this is the first thing I've used it on that seems to appreciate the treatment.
