I just wash with whatever I'm washing with...if it doesn't have the pop you're looking for, it's time for some more WETS.

I have been topping mine with Meguiars Ultimate Quik Wax, spray wax, synthetic spray wax, quick wax, meguiars quick spray wax, paint protectant, liquid wax, meguires, meguiars car (http://www.autogeek.net/meguiars-spray-wax.html) or Meguiars Synthetic X-press Spray Wax, X-press car wax, Meguiars X-press spray liquid wax, D156 (http://www.autogeek.net/meguiars-xpress-spray-wax.html).

The hard plastic and/or textured stuff?

For those, I use apc & a good scrub brush like the Low Profile Tire Brush (http://www.autogeek.net/low-profile-tire-brush.html) or better yet a DA/drill brush attachment.

After that, if needed, dye it with Solution Finish and seal it up with WETS.

yeah but i was talking about after its all sealed. the apc would take the wets off. its my vehicle so i was thinking of using maybe spray wax on it or a spray protectant over it

How times have changed when people are talking about applying a wax to their black trim. :) Detailing technology seems to have made considerable progress in recent years.

wellim still not sure its ok to be honest, i know you can use most quick detailers to clean it at least.

I should have qualified that I am not using the megs x wax like a dressing. I just hit the trim while I'm doing the paint. I have not had any problems with the megs. I assume most synthetic spray wax would be safe on coated plastics.

However, I am a VERY firm believer of testing anything new on an inconspicuous area before proceeding. Not only test a spot, but give 48 hours for any adverse reactions to reveal themselves. I have seen this step skipped by far too many who now have long term or permanent issues.
