Front grill water stain

Hello everyone,

my evo x is just a little above 1k miles but there seems to be water stain I believe on the front black grill. what would be causing this and how do I get it to return back to black?

looks like you got wax on the plastic.

There are products sold to restore trim to black. But if it is wax, you need to find a detail shop and ask them how to get it off.

If it were just from water then simply washing it would rinse it right off.

Rubbing alcohol will pull old wax off plastic.

I think there is a much bigger problem here.... its clear that your car... has a cocaine problem and that is clearly just left over residue. lol But yea I would use the mothers back to black or just rubbing alchol no biggy.
