Waxing question.

I was looking for some wax for my vehicle and noticed all of them said not to use on plastic. Since I have a OZ version with the rear spoiler what do you use on the underside molding, bumpers and spoiler?

by plastic I think it meant such things as the front grill.

if you use wax on that kind of stuff it clouds up pretty fierce.

The bumper front and back, spoiler and there is a strip running along the length of the car under the doors tire to tire. Those parts. Do they even need to be waxed?

They mean raw plastic.
If it is painted you will be putting the wax on the paint not the actual plastic.

One word: ZAINO

It goes averywhere, doesn't cloud and after a week that I used it, the car looks like it just came out of the carwash. Amazing. It's slick, you can feel with your hands when you touch the car. Great stuff.
