>>Sfiveten ... you say (too late for me)
>>"After drying the car. Start with your polish in about 4x4 foot areas. Apply evenly. Let haze and buff with your Micro Fiber towels. (Be very carefull not to apply any Polish on black plastic trim.... this will not come off!!)

>>Wax.... Apply in the same manner you did with the polish. Again take great care in not getting any wax on plastic trim!! "
>>
>>... so do you have any good tips on getting the black plastic free of wax?

I just got and used Meguiars gold class trim detailer. its for all the outside plastic and rubber, and it worked wonders, much better than the standard vinyl and plastic treatments I've attempted to use on the oustide plastic (cough armor all cough).

I also had the stupid white residue, but now its gone (permanently). and application of the stuff is very quick and painless and provides uv protection. A much better option than taping of all of the trim! HAHAHAH! ...seriously, that must really suck.
