What worked for me was to use laquer thinner with the finest steel wool (on rubber parts) or a paper towel (vinyl or plastic parts). Since the thiner is in the towel it will evaporate too quickly to damage the plastic. Be carefull - do not spill the laquer thinner on plastic or vinyl - it will discolor and/or eat a hole in the plastic. A good cleaning, protectant application should bring the gloss back. If you are not happy with the finish after this, you can get a spray can of vinyl/plastic dye in many colors at a parts store, such as Pep Boys. This has it's own set of problems with masking etc.
