How do you dress the plastic trim (BRZ)
 
The plastic trim above the fenders is faded!

Hi, I have a Galaxy Blue BRZ Premium, and I've been washing and waxing the car using meguiar's wash and wax and meguiar's cleaner wax. I accidentally used the wash + wax soap product instead of the regular car wash soap, and the plastic trim above the fenders faded a bit from the wax in the soaps.

Anybody know what the best product to use on the black plastic trim? From autozone, or if I should check the dealership for their recommended products? I know I can use 50/50 iso. alcohol and water to strip the wax product, but what would make the trim look really good?

*edit* here's a pic of the trim as it looks now http://i.imgur.com/pg2QcOl.jpg

Turtle Wax trim restorer. I've always been pleased with the results.

Wax makes your trim fade?

I highly recommend Adam's in and out spray. Chemical guys sells something similar but I cannot remember what they call it. Simply spray it on and wipe down any over spray with a microfiber cloth. Quick and easy and lasts 1-2 weeks.

Followed by this:

If necessary, I would use this:

My recommendations are based on what I have used in the past with good results.

pretty much hands down my favorite trim dressing is ultima trim & tire guard.

its a bit expensive but worth it. many products run down the paint when it rains. UTTG beads water

I put it a couple ounces in a small spray bottle and apply with small foam applicator. bottle lasts a really long time.

I fixed my faded black plastic trim by switching my wash to Meguiar's Deep Crystal wash, and then wiped the plastics with 50/50 iso. alcohol and water, and then used meguiar's [ame="http://www.amazon.com/Meguiars-G15812-ULTIMATE-BLACK-OZ/dp/B0055PD1H4"]Ultimate Black[/ame] - worked good for the black plastics and rubber trim on the roof.

I use 303 Aerospace Protectant on anything plastic/rubber/vinyl on interior and exterior. Great UV protection, water based, and produces a nice low gloss sheen. Love the stuff, wouldn't use anything else.
