Autoglym bumper care is quite good, put it on a few weeks ago and the bumpers are still pretty black.

Heat gun all the way, can get one for about £15, which you could spend on buying a couple of bottles of back to black type stuff but the heatgun lasts forever and is quicker imo

Probably Gtechniq C4. Very expensive but one treatment is meant to last years.

Blow torch is quicker than the heat gun and it won't burn it unless you go too far
