peanut butter to take the waxes out of the bumper trim.
Then use the megiures hot stuff tyre gel or some linseed oil.. and finish it off with a back to black bumper trim spray.

Depends how shiny you want it tbh!! The way to make it ultra shiny is usually via a silicone based dressing.
I personally use couple of different ones from Autosmart but they're more of a satin finish.
Maybe try something like Chemical Guys New Look Trim Gel - that's about the shiniest one I found before.
As with any dressing though, allow to soak into the trim for around 30 minutes, then buff off to remove any excess - it helps to prevent the dressing from streaking at the first sign of moisture

Is the white staining from previous polishing / waxing efforts? If so they will need removing first. This can usually be done using a rubber or some weak all purpose cleaner and a toothbrush.
Chemical Guys NLTG is available from various places. I'd probably suggest direct from Chemical Guys UK: http://www.chemicalguysuk.com/TRIM_AND_TIRE_SHINE_EXTREME_WET_SHINE_DRESSING_p/newlkk.htm
is also good one tyres etc
