How to restore grey bumpers?
Discussion
So, you can use a hot air gun, it has to be very hot so watch you don't melt them, but it brings the oils back to the surface and makes it look lovely, BUT, it doesn't last once the UV gets to it, it quickly fades back to as it was before.
You can use any kind of 'back to black' bumper and tyre treatment, they are all wipe on and look good, but again, its the sort of product you need to put back on every time you wash the car.
The best long term product is Polytrol colour restorer, https://www.owatroldirect.co.uk/product/polytrol/ its available from Amazon etc. Its about the best product for longer term use, its still going to need reapplying but no where near as often as either the hot air gun or one of the other bumper trim products.

Owatrol Polytrol Colour Restorer - the small tin will do every bit of plastic on the car. Longevity TBC, but so far very impressed post a few snow foam washes. Was a recommendation from on here somewhere that I saved and then finally acted upon. Expect to ruin a few microfibres cloths too. Top tip - don't put too much on - follow the instructions carefully, and wear old clothes if there's any chance of your spilling it on yourself because it's not coming out. Also expect it to take 24 hours to fully go off, so don't put it on and then immediately need to take the car somewhere 200 miles on the motorway in the pissing rain ...The day after, you'd be fine ...
