This is the only thing that worked for me to clean the textured plastic on my truck that had dirt stuck in the little grooves/textures. Is there an alternative since its now discontinued?

I'd try some Bilt-Hamber Surfex or Optimum Power Clean aka Alien [emoji89] Kleen[emoji118]

Such a brilliant, application specific product, and such a shame they dropped it. Whatever is in it seems to clean unpainted plastic trims better than an APC can. Apparently Obsessed G are attempting to have it reverse engineered and manufactured elsewhere. I doubt this will happen for such a limited use product.

I stumbled upon this Nextzett product in an attempt to find an alternative. I have used it on black plastic and it seemed to work very well.

I use the Plastikreiniger. Works fine. Nextzett is an underrated company. Every one of their products I've used are excellent. The Anti Frost washer fluid is the best I've ever used.

Why not try to work something out with Meguiars?

Unless Obsessed G is trying to do it cheaper? Or Meguiars wouldn't be open to such an agreement? (I have 0 insight into how careful they may be with guarding their formulas/processes)

He was already buying it direct from Meguiars and from what I’ve read they aren’t planning on making it regardless of who wants it. Given his partnership with B & B for his drying aid/tire dressing/decon soap, I’m hopeful they can come up with something. Who knew I should have bought up a stockpile of this stuff while it was still being made.

I'm pretty sure he has been working with B&B on a M39 replacement.

He's also been talking with P&S about a lower pH version of Brake Buster, for what reason I don't know as you may as well just use soap at that point.

I also like the Nextzett winshield cleaner.
