Cleaning plastic trim on car exterior
I just washed my car and it's absolutely spotless now except for the plastic grill bit (where the "H" emblem is on the front). No matter how much I clean it, it still has this dirty look to it so I think that I'm gonna go with some detailing stuff that gives it the "wet" look, but I'd like some suggestions on what products are good at this.
I know that I can just go to CT and grab any one to try, but I'm asking coz I tried a bottle a long time ago on another car and it cleaned all the plastic trim on the car and made it a nice wet looking black colour, but after a couple of days dust would become stuck to it so badly that it looked absolutely like crap. I think that the stuff was oil based, coz it took a lot of effort with soap and water to get the dust off and the only way to get it clean again was to apply more of the product. Unfortunately, I can't remember what the stuff was called but I know that it smelled like cherries (mmmmmmmm!!!!) and if I saw the bottle, I'd know that that was it.
Come on, suggestions to clean plastic trim!
