Yeah it's on the list, I thought you had that from him already

He's got a new corsa now I think so I expect he'll need it for that

Think it looks strange as black wheels next to dark grey plastics.

10-15mm higher would look better imo

Plan at the moment is to do the plastics in gloss black

I always use autoglym bumper care on any black trim, not used anything else so don't know how it compares to others. If your going to paint them though better of not putting any sort of product near them, you don't want it reacting with the paint lol

Gtechniq C4 is probably one of the best on the market. Not cheap but well worth it.
