I asked the same thing a few weeks back. I ended up using cillit bang and a dish washing brush thing. Not perfect but made a huge difference after a couple of cleans. Reckon if i give another go they will look almost new. Mine had a good 20yrs worth of dirt so took a bit of elbow grease. I ended up taking out so i could keep rising with the hose

Lazy method, wash it, let it dry in the Sun, have a cuppa and then spray it with a can of Silk Black, use whats left in the can for your grille............ :D

Shoe polish (the old fashioned stuff in a tin, not the tube/sponge/squeeze job)

After jet washing, I used black trim wax. It says not not to use it on mats etc. But if you buff it out enough, it's fine. It came up right lovely.
