I use the M37 version that I got here years ago, but if you don’t mind large quantity, I’m sure this works just as well:

BLACKFIRE Wax Remover (https://www.autogeek.net/blackfire-wax-remover.html)

Although this is more meant for trim and not sure how it works on smooth gloss plastic, if that’s what you’re referring to. APC should remove that I think.

•I’ve used the following to remove Wax,
etc., from black textured plastics:
-Meguiar’s M39 Professional Heavy
Duty Vinyl Cleaner;
-Griot’s Garage Dried-on Wax Remover
-P21S Total Auto Wash (TAW)


•Once the plastic has been cleaned:
-Meguiar’s Ultimate Protectant is,
IMO, an excellent follow-up product.

$5 bottle of mineral oil and a microfiber rag or magic eraser where needed.

What kind of plastic?
I've used a regular pencil eraser on my Explorer with textured black plastic. Worked great.

Did you mean mineral oil, or mineral spirits?

Just for my own confirmation.

Mineral Oil. Mineral spirits is a solvent and that would work too I suppose :)
