[JOHNNY-CLEAN]

A trick I've used in the detail shops for years is get a small nylon detail (paint brush). Take electrical tape and wrap around the bristles so there is only about 1inch of brush hanging out of the bottom so its stiff and flat. Be sure surface is cool and wet with water. Get a mild all-purpose cleaner (409, simple green, ect) and mix 50/50 with water. Spray cleaner on a small area and softly and slowly rub the detail brush back and fourth onto the pours of the plastic. The small tight bristles will work into the wax and agitate it loose. Wipe dry with a clean cloth.

If you don't like Armor-All or dressings. There is a product called "Engine Blackout" made by Clean Cycle Products. That is put on with a sponge detail brush and will make it look new for about 3 months with regular washing. It's usually used for the black engines of Harleys but works well on plastic. You can usually find it at all Harley dealerships or online. About $15.00 a bottle and will last a good year or so.

There is also a product called "Armidillo" used in the CHEVY dealerships for the fading plastics on the Avalanche models. It's a bit expensive but if you sneak back to the detail guys they may hook you up! Bring'em a 12 pack or something.

GOOD LUCK!
