Cleaning Body Plastic

I have the cleaning, clay barring, polishing and waxing of the GEE down pat (I spent 6 hours doing all of that on it yesterday) but I need some advice for cleaning my daughter's new mini convertible and I hope no one minds me posting the questions here.

She just got it. It looks to me like when the dealer cleaned it for delivery (you know that thing they charge the $500 in Admin Costs for) they got polish on the black plastic portions of the body -- around the wheels. It now has that white streaky look and we haven't been able to get it out. What can we use to get the body plastic (vinyl) back to black?

Also it has a soft black convertible roof. How do you clean and take care of that? It is parked in the sun all day long.

Thanks.

You want it back to black? Why not just try Meguiars "Back to Black" first. This is the easiest to find, but not the best.

My best recommendation would be Chemical Guys Fade 2 Black. Detailed Image carries it.

I too recommends Chemical Guys Fade 2 Black and 303 Aerospace Protectant
