Can I give you my address for some wax, Greg - I need to make the car SHINE!

Get yourself some collinite 476. Cheap as chips, will last forever and really resilient to road grime

Does it make the car GLOW Greg?

It is metallic grey colour & I want it to be really shiny & when it rains, the water just sits in 'bubbles' on the paint (if that makes sense) ....

Collinite will give a decent shine but ultimately to get the best out of any wax you need to polish the paint first. But it will certainly improve it significantly without polishing and it will give outstanding beading, or as you call it rain bubbles

So there is I was in my "new" (to me anyway) car & the grey trim around the wheel arches looked a bit too faded for my liking.

Looked online for best stuff to make the trim shine like a shiny thing in shinyville, and what did I use to get the best ever result?

No - Not Turtle Wax Trim Shiner, no not Simoniz whatever it's called .....

Smooth Peanut Butter

Yeah - seriously - that stuff has brought the wheel arch trims & all around the edges of the car up a real treat, so don't buy the £14.99 bottle of Trim Shine stuff - get a 59p bottle of smooth peanut butter & you're good to go!!!

If your on about the grey plastic trim....those shoe shine sponges are brilliant for that.....;-)

Suppose conversations on your car you reply "yeah cost me peanuts"
