+1.

Armor All Protectant is the stuff! You can buy it in little squirty bottles or on like baby wipes in a fat tall cylindrical container.

The protectant is Yellow top, there is an Orange cleaner (naturally with an orange top) that will get out all the built up grime.
If you haven't used it before, the plastics will probably soak up ALOT of the protectant - but this works well.

I'm really getting into Meguiars products these days though. I dont know what they have that would be suitable for the plastic trim, but for polishes and washes that i've recently bought - their products are superior to anything else ive used...

I don't like armor-all, it seems to attract more dust. I've recently been using a product from mothers called Back to Black. It's great stuff.

I use Meguires Gold Class Trim Detailer on all our cars, I tend it to be alot better than Armour All, less residue.

I painted my mud guards to match the color of my woo. :) They look hot. :)
