Thanks WALLY I'll try that maybe with a stiff nail brush that has a grip on top. Anything else besides simple green ??? CHEERS AW

This is kind of after the fact but... before I wax a car or boat that has plastic trim (especially black) I be sure to apply a protectant to the plastic like 303. Not only does it protect from UV light it prevents wax from getting in the plastic and there is no need to clean it in the first place.

You may want to try WD-40 then follow with regular vinyl cleaner, then 303 of course!

Waxing Frenzy! Seriously, it will remove the wax from those areas. Keep that in mind, also, next time you buy wax. You don't have to protect the rubber or hard plastic trim...the frenzy does it for you.
