Best Product for Grey Plastic Trim

Hey everyone. I have a new 2008 Saturn Vue, and it has a few areas of grey plastic trim (like a lot of new SUVs have). During my last waxing, I got a little wax on the grey plastic, and it is still showing. I can remove it with a lot of work with soap and water (we're talking about 10 minutes of work for each spot with a MF towel), but I was wondering if there was a better way. I saw Meguiars Gold Class Trim Detailer. Is this the appropriate product? I did a search and found some other products mentioned (Black Wow, PB Trim Restorer), but I didn't know if those were right for just a simple cleaning. It's not really faded yet, I just need to get the wax out of it. The thing making it more difficult is that the plastic is textured (very small bumps all over).

Thanks so much for your help!

Black WOW would be my choice.

I agree on Black Wow.

Remove wax stains instantly! You’ll wish all mistakes were this easy to erase! Wax Blaster Wax Remover instantly dissolves wax stains on trim and mold

Another for "Black Wow". Here's a DG for the residue on texured plastic. Duragloss Wax Eraser (WE) #481.
Usually only a cleaner/wax combo will leave that white residue stain. What wax if you don't mind sharing?

I have been using Pinnacle Signature Series II. Do you think it would be a good idea to use something different?

Thanks!

I've never had an issue with Pinnacle Sig Series II. It's a great wax so I'd continue using it. Just wipe it off the textured plastic before it dries and it shouldn't stain. Anyway that's my experience. You may still need to use one of those other products initially.

Thanks! I think that was my problem. I didn't get all the plastic trim wiped off completely before the wax dried. I don't think it's stained (since it does some off with significant elbow grease). Do you think the DG product would be the best to go for right now then?
