at the moment, i am using autoglym bumper care. applying with a cloth to larger areas, and a small paintbrush to bits like the rubber seals around the windows.

as for glass cleaner, meguiars nxt spray on glass cleaner is pretty good. simple and easy to use, spray on, wipe around and buff off. alternatively, autoglym car glass polish. it takes a little longer to use as you have to apply the polish, wait for it to cure, then buff off. there is also more chance of accidentally getting polish onto trim around the windows, so they then have to be cleaned.
both good products, with excellent results. just down to personal preference really.

heat up the plastic with a hair dryer and apply the products of choice then go over with the hair dryer again, buff any excess of with a mf (stops it running down and makin the paint greasy when it rains) this heating method should help keep then looking black and the trim dressing last longer with fewer re-applications.
