It's the plastic trim at the bottom of the windscreen, where the vents and wipers are, that drives me up the wall. Can't find anything that leaves a lasting finish. As for the mirrors, I am going to buy body coloured covers to sort them out.

That GTechniq C4 stuff looks brilliant. Very expensive as hell, but I guess you get what you pay for.

Autoglym bumper and trim gel worked a treat on my scuttle which switched from sun bleached grey to black

I've got and have tried C4... IMO Overpriced and didn't last as last as I'd hope it too.. Or anywhere near.
