Help cleaning up black trim on exterior
What's up guys? Just got my Evo last weekend and noticed some white substance on the mirror trim and the rear air dam that I believe could be just wax residue from when it was cleaned. Just wondering what you guys recommend using to clean this off and restore the black plastic parts to their original luster. Thanks!

I'll share some detailers secrets, use the magic eraser with an all purpose cleaner or degreaser. If no luck which usually doesn't happen use a stiff bristle brush something like you would use to scrub carpets with the degreaser. It'll come off. Do this then apply your black to black or dressing of choice. Never apply a dressing over dirt.

Just use an old t-shirt or mf towel. A little goes a long way. Work it into the plastic and then buff off. the oils soak into the plastic and bring it back to life along with removing old wax.

old wax is quite the nemesis. that's never fun. i used to know a guy that used transmission fluid on his trim pieces. basically, anything petroleum should help with old plastic/rubber pieces. i use Stoner Trim Shine. not that it's better than any of the other suggestions here, but it's in a convenient spray bottle. it's just easier for me to use.
