So...my first polishing experience ended up with good finish on the paint and not so much on the plastic trim. I was stupid enough not to clean it in time and it got stained...fast forward, regardless of what i used to clean it up it wouldn’t work. Rubber eraser along with the carpro eraser did what looked like a decent job and i decided to apply gyeon trim. Looked fantastic. For about two month. No it looks like junk. Not sure what options i have now since has been coated. Can it be removed? Ir should i reapply coating again? It really breaks my heart....

I use this. McKee's 37 Plastic Trim Restorer (https://www.autogeek.net/mckees-37-trim-restorer.html)

It works pretty well for me.

I had this experience and ended up using Rupes Mille polish yellow and yellow pads to clean my black plastic trim. I tried this on a test area first and was shocked how easy it was to clean the trim this way. The Rupes Mille is a wet polish that is runny. I used it very wet and did not allow it to dry while working it. I then removed it with ONR on a wet micro towel. I had nothing to loose and every thing to gain so I experimented and got lucky!

Honda pilot 16. Black non-glossy plastic trim. I’ll try to get some pics later but don’t have them right now

Thank you for your suggestion. How will it work with coating applied to the trim? Will it remove it?

How to remove Almost might be a question for Jeff @Gyeon and he might also have some insight on what happened. Heavy application or something else’s

I have removed a trim coating using Optimum Hyper Polish. It does not stain trim.

But before doing anything pictures would help
