Plastic Molding
#2
I just detailed my friends car and i tried using some interior shine that was safe for rubber and plastic on the rubber moldings, it made them look brand new, i just put it on a towel and rubbed it on. I havent tried it on plastic, but if the stuff was designed for use on interior plastics, it makes sense it would work on exterior too, either way, try a small spot out of the way to see if it works

I just tried the mr clean tire eraser it worked really good on the plastic. it was really easy. I tried it on the tire's and it worked ok but fell apart really fast and was laborering becuase the tires have ribs on them that made the product deteriorate fast. I actually purchased it to do the tires . even though i mask off the rubber and plastic when i detail still got a few spots where some #80 and nxt wax got on the rear bumper. Just foolin around i thought i would try on the plastic cover on the bumper and was really impressed on how good it worked.

I use three diiferent items:
Meguiars’ #40 Vinyl & Rubber Cleaner / Conditioner
Meguiars’ Natural Shine Vinyl & Rubber Protectant
Meguiar's Exterior Trim Detailer (shines and protect plastic surfaces)
Please, please, please do NOT use mr clean eraser on your black plastic parts of your truck (like your bedrails). A few of us have found that this is a bad mistake. It actual makes them look even more faded. I had to replace mine after the damage was done and some have had to replace other parts (door handle, bumps, and running boards) after using this. Do a quick search here and you will see that this maybe the wrong product for you.
