Cleaning the black plastic (trim) on our trucks...

Just wondering what is the best product to clean the black trim on our truck (around the windows, and doors). After I spray my tires with tire shine no matter how careful I am... I seem to get little spots all over the plastic around the doors... its hard to get clean. Any suggestions?

Change from a spray tire shine to a gel type. Another way to accomplish this is to use your garage (if applicable) with the garage door DOWN thus eliminating air movement for the most part.

I bet the little 'spots' are all over your paint too...

If this isn't possible, you can always use a product like 303 Protectant (don't use an ultra-el cheapo product -- you'll get streaking all over your paint the next rain) or similar on the rubber seals around the windows and such...

Hey RP, do you have a pic of what the 303 Protectant looks like? I just want to make sure I buy the right stuff. Thanks in advance...

While I may not be RP, this is what the bottle looks like. I have to pick some up too.
