In the old days we just used a bit of WD40 and wiped over with a rag. Customers would lift their bonnet and see it was shiny and be happy thinking we had gone the extra mile. If it was a VIP then the car got some engine lacquer, which looked great to start off with, but crap when it cracked and looked like crazy paving.

Now I would just use a bit of vinyl and trim cleaner and give the parts a wipe over.

Yeah with them wheels you definitely need to go lower. Even a 50mm drop would still leave a gap Surprised
