The lower panels on my fordescape are faded am using Detailer's Cleanse-All Exterior Cleaner DP Cleanse-All Exterior Cleaner works as a bug & tar remover, a wheel cleaner, a tire cleaner, an engine degreaser, a convertible top cleaner, a vinyl followed by pre-wow Pre-WOW Pre-Cleaner by Black WOW, black wow trim cleaner then wow Black WOW Exterior Trim Restorer, black trim dressing, restore black rubber trim, Mini trim.

Rince and dry between products

still have some grey patches coming through think there might still be polish/wax/sealants on the surface causing problems.

once I get it done will all I have to do is black wow it every couple months?

or will I have to comtinue to scrub these panels?

Occasionally scrubbing unpainted plastic trim and panels with an all purpose cleaner.

Sometimes a deeper clean my be required. Using a product like Klean Strip Prep-All will dissolve and remove grease, oil, silicone's making it ready to a protective treatment.

Rinse thoroughly, dry, and treat by applying a product like CarPro PERL or Ultima Tire & Trim Guard to give it a rich even appearance.

I have had good luck cleaning the plastic parts and using Meguiars ultimate trim restorer, it seems to do a great job of bringing plastic color back on wiper cowls and body trim parts, as well as elimination of wax staining. It is fairly shiny however, I am not sure if that is appropriate for you.
 
I've seen some people use Mr. Clean Magic Eraser to get rid of the grey followed by your choice of trim restorer. I use UTTG+ as Bobby recommended above.
 
Hmmm Klean-Strip Auto® you have to inform the epa how much you use :surrender::surrender:

I've been scrubbing down using magic eraser(s), cheep generic ones from wallmart, the dp allpurpose cleaner seems to eat them. wonder who came up with the idea to make a higher dencity sponge and charge 5 times the price of a regular one.

Looks like the method I'm using now is good - will try out diffrent cleaners/protectants as my suples run out.
