The black plastic on my front bumper has some kind of stain on it. I have tried vinegar, peanut butter, back to black and just about everything in between. Does anybody have a secret to getting these stains out?

Take it off. Wash with dish soap and water really well. Sub the stained part good. Buy some Krylon Fusion gloss black and give the plastic three to four coats until it's even. Always turns out great for me.

try a heat gun, that will usually bring the black back out on it, ive done it on many bumper pads and it has worked everytime for me

the heat gun trick is you heat it up and you can watch the faded areas go back black, but you have to be careful because you can melt the bumper cap, it pretty much melts the top layer into the lower layers of plastic and pretty much makes it look new again...
the pic you posted the cap looks smooth? normally they are textured if they arent painted

it looks like something spilled its ass off on it, since you have tried back to black(horrible product) and others id suggest you scrub it with alcohol, that will strip it down to bare plastic, and if there are stains still left behind they are embedded in the plastic, then id try the heat gun and see if that brings it back to a deeper black shine, otherwise, get some plasti-dip and spray it black, will look like new and if it messes up its simple to respray

I took this before i did my sport conversion, the bumper cap is a textured black one i did the heat trick on and the grill is a chrome grill with black plast-dip and a coat of dip-gloss, in the pic u can see it matches a black cap pretty well so you could do that to your cap and call it a day

This sounds crazy, but that Wipe-New stuff they used to advertise on tv is the best stuff I've ever used for making black plastic black again.

i really like that stuff, but you wont get two years out of it like they say, also the 24 hour "keep out of the weather" clause they give really blows

I have used "Forever Black" with success. Hard to find locally I had to order it. It is a water based dye.
