Exterior Trim turning grey

Does anyone know what to use on the rubber/vinyl exterior trim of an S-60? My trim is starting to turn a pasty grey on my 02 S-60 and I've tried Armor-all and various other products, but when it rains, it just washes away. How can I restore the luster of the black on the trim and bumpers?

I found this link: http://www.carcareonline.com/viewarticle.aspx?art=12

They have a lot of products and advice...should anyone else be looking to take care of this pesky little problem.

Mask them off and paint them with bumper paint that you can buy at any automotive store.
Make SURE you remove all that silicone (Armorall) first of the paint will not adhere well
Done properly, this job should last for years

I did this on a 960 when I first bought it and when I sold it 3 years later the bumpers still looked like new.

As JRL said, get rid of all the polish etc. you have put on. I used methylated spirit.
