how to clean plastic side mouldings

I was wondering how you guys are cleaning the dark gray plastic side mouldings? It seems armor all and similar products would attract too much dust. What should i be using to treat it with?

thanks

Regular wash

I'd just wash them like the rest of the vehicle. Adding a glossy coating of anything will attract dust, like you mentioned. Adam's Polishes does have an aerosol product called In & Out that is a really nice non-greasy stuff, that wipes right off if you get it on your paint. If you're convinced you need to treat that plastic, you might try that.

I have used the Tire Foam from Turtle Wax with good results. Plain old silicone spray on a rag works real good too but may need 2 coats to get it to look even. The silicone gets the wax off also that may have gotten on the edges of the plastic when you polish the truck. The silicone wipes right off the paint also.

Try the Adams V.R.T. It is great stuff and non-greasy. If you go to his main site www.adamspolishes.com he even has instructional videos. All Adams products are great stuff. You ought to also try the detail spray or just buy one of his kits. That is what I did. Well worth the money and last a long time. A friend in the office next to me is a distributer for him. If you see one of his new adds that is my bud's black Corvette. Here is the link for the V.R.T. http://www.adamspolishes.com/site/de...369A&killnav=1
