Yes!! Go buy a bottle of 3M Vinyl Cleaner and Restorer ($7.97 at Walmart). It is great for restoring the luster to all your black plastic trim and it removes the white haze left from waxing. Also if you wipe it down with a clean dry rag after applying it won't run onto your paint when it rains or when you wash the truck. It also lasts through several rains and washings. This stuff is great!! Follow this link to see what it looks like, http://store.yahoo.com/classic-motor...aviclandr.html |

I hate getting that stuff on the plastic so I take it to the dealer and let them do it.

Peanut oil works great. Crazy as it sounds, you can actually apply smooth peanut butter to the plastic and then wipe it off and you will see that the plastic will have that orginal look.

It removes the residue, as opposed to just hiding it until the peanut oil sheen wears off, right?
