Joe,

  I just the coarser rubbing compound- and a lot of elbow grease.  The
shine usually comes back that way.  If the plastic has faded to a flat
black patina, it may be necessary to use scotch-brite ( a plastic type
of steel wool) to scuff off the oxidized plastic.  All the rubbing in
the world will not bring back the black color if the piece has faded 
to grey though...

     Good Luck,
