I have been reading threads related to WETS and tried to find answers to my questions. Still have some questions.
I am planning to apply WETS to 2015 Subaru Forester's trims,
Car in question. Thanks for all info/help provided by all experts here, really helped me get off the ground with regards to maintaining my vehicle.

This is front bumper. Most of the bumper is in good shape but at the edge, it has started to turn grey/white.

Rear bumper has taken a good beating

Do I need to do anything for these bumpers before WETS application, other than cleaning with APC and do IPA wipe down?
WETS container states that one can apply on rubber (tires for e.g. but doesn't state about weatherstripping around the glass). I wonder if I can apply to these 'gaskets' around the rear windshield. I have applied 303 trim protector to it at the moment.

This is the side trim around the windows. Feels like plastic but AFAIK, it is some kind of thin coating. Is it OK to apply to it?

I don't know what got sprayed on it, but this is the only piece that looks like it. How do I fix it before WETS application?

General question,
- Should I tape sides of the trim so that I do spread it on glass or the paint? If not, and goes on glass or the paint by accident, how long do I have before wiping it off?
Thanks again for all info.
