Dont buy that. Get Autoglym Bumper Care. Works very well and lasts for quite a while too! Its what I use on mine!
Spray just tends to wash off in my experience

Yes it will make it really black.

Can get it from Halfords, Motorworld or anywhere like that. Type Autoglym bumper care into Ebay and its probably on there too

Yes I can vouch for it that it is very good, just look at my car and thats not even when using the ultra deep that PainZ uses

I would save ya money and get it smoothed and colourcoded to match, also your bumpers (if need be)?

It will do a good job, and for this particular job autoglym bumper care is the product you need. I find warming the plastic up before application will result in a better finish. Get your mums hair dryer out

There are better cleaning products out there though.

Take it to your local garage & ask the bodywork specialist to quote you, never cost me much £150 I paid for colourcoded black and smoothed:

vectra door handles,
side bump strips
all arches
front & rear bumpers - that's where it all started gave me a different look to my car

Using Autoglym Bumper Care is the easiest way and lasts long enough too.
