Silicone spray works well, lasts quite a while and is easy to apply.

I didn't find a heatgun much good tbh
Autoglym bumper care works well but doesn't last long

Heatgun first to bring back the true colour of the plastic, then any silicone based gel/spray to keep it that way

Matt black spray paint. Done it on two corsas now lasts indefinatly and stays full black. And get a flawless finish from a rattle can because it's matt.

autoglym is brilliant. i used to use the turtle wax but its crap compared to the glym. i now use that for the tyre walls which make the car look 10x better

Smooth peanut butter last for like a month for me
Just put a bit on a cloth then rub it off wid another one
Bring back the black really good even if your plastics are grey
