Mineral Spirits on a rag will work. I have also used rubbing alcohol. With both just don't soak the rag and use patients and elbow grease.
For old grayed plastic: 2 products I have used are "Back to Black" and "Black Magic". Both acctually put a dry seal coat, they are not paint or dye. armour all and etc just makes things sticky and worse.

As mentioned previously, you can clean it or use a dressing. I use Back-to-Black, and it works pretty well unless the trim is really old and oxidized.

Tip of the day: apply a dressing before you wax -- leave it wet -- and it'll make your life a lot easier. When you're done waxing, buff the trim and most wax splatter will come right off.

I bought Wet Obsession Paste Wax from Obsessive Detail and cannot wait to detail the car this spring... I've seen results from other users and am extremely anxious!

I have always waxed, polished, ect.. my cars by hand does any one on here use a buffer with any luck and if so what type. I'm sure by hand is better but much more time consuming. Thanks
