I wash, clayed, and waxed a 2010 Acura TL a few days ago and they have light gray plastic panels in the rear and front. I wasn't sure what to clean them with so I used final inspection which worked OK. What's a good all around plastic cleaner?

APC and a detail brush.
 
There is a multitude of cleaners that will work, ranging from your normal carwash, to specific plastic cleaners, to citrus washes. My usual car wash works fine for me. Or, if it's located in the lower panels, it gets pre-washed w/ my citrus wash. Then just dress w/ your favorite dressing (Megs Hyperdressing here). Hope that helps.

This would be after I wash the car, if there's stubborn water spots or other spots. I like Rsurfer's idea, but what are some specific plastic cleaners out of curiosity? Plexus?
 
Oh yeah, if it's particularly greasy I use the citrus wash as well -worked great on my Mercedes diesel grill (old w123)
 
I guess I'm referring to a quick detail type spray specifically designed for plastics. I have good car wash or APC that should take care of the bulk of dirt.
 
I was almost gonna suggest the APC like Rsurfer, but didn't want to as I have no first-hand experience in this particular application. I ust used APC for the first time on the 30 year old vinyl in the Mercedes and it seemed to work alright (7:1 -prob. should've went a bit stronger).

The advice seems sound, though.
 
Cool. I'll use APC like Rsurfer said if I need to clean any tough spots(remove quickly) after washing. :xyxthumbs:
 
Adhesive remover and a q tip works just fine for me. Go back and dress it with 303. I use a foam paint brush for honeycomb areas to apply 303.

I finished 303 not too long ago and picked up some PB trim restorer. Good stuff. :xyxthumbs: However, I'm wondering if PB trim restorer has as strong of UV protection as 303?
 
On the bottle of 303 it say's SPF 40 lol. All that I know is that PB TR is supposed to be nothing more than coconut oil which has a natural SPF of 5 if I'm not mistaken.
