What are good products used to detail rubber trim around windows? Also, what do you guys use to remove water spots from the windshield wiper arms? Lastly, what about detailing products for external plastic surfaces? For example, the area where my wiper arms are connected to the car is plastic. What's a good product to clean it and shine it up real nicely? Thanks guys.

clean with APC using a cotton terry towel then a generous application of Poorboys World Trim Restorer. I use a 1" paint brush or 1" foam brush to apply it then let it stand for a few hours before buffing back off(on my own car). On a customers car I can't normally let stand that long.
On more faded or weathered trim I normally apply a few times and it usually does not need to be buffed back off of these more weathered trim pieces. After a few applications on dry, weathered trim it actually does end up looking like new trim again. I apply this product every time I wash and wax and it keeps my trim looking new.

Would this product also be used to remove polish splatter on the windshield cowl, wiper arm and the black inserts on the running boards? I have what looks to be the remnants of white polish dust on some portions of these areas that doesn't wash off.

I use a eraser to get wax marks off of plastic and other exter trim.

Okay, this may be a dumb question.....but when you say you use an eraser.......do you mean a pencil eraser or is that an automotive product?

I use PB Trim Restorer and 303 Protectant. Letting the PB dwell longer really helps as well as a couple applications to bring it back to life. 303 works better on harder plastics for me. For some areas I use the half inch foam brushes that are like 39 cents. For wiper blades I usually correct the paint and then use WDGPS. If the wipers are really bad I will paint them.

Oops sorry forgot to put down what to use, it's a pencil eraser or on of those small block erasers it works great.
