Pledge. Yes, the stuff for wood... it lasts longer than WD40 & its less expensive. I've used Pledge a Porsche 930 (lots of little rubber trim) for years with no ill effects and now I use it on the plastic bits on the LR3.

For maintenance, I use 303 Aerospace protectant (it's like higher grade Armour All)
To bring back faded black trim, I use Black Wow.
btw, peanut butter actually does work, but I've got enough problems with squirrels and coons in my neighborhood.

RAcoons I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.
