Stained/Faded plastic trim...Mr. Clean Magic Eraser

[salong53]

So the previous owner of my 4th gen got wax all over the window plastic trim pieces and it stained it an ugly chalky white color. I read on several detailing forums about things to use: peanut butter, pencil erasers, leather conditioner, etc...

Anyway, as I'm going to town on the first window, my wife says, "here, try this Magic Eraser sponge." I probably rolled my eyes, but I tried it. Holy S***!!! It worked. I finished every plastic piece on the truck in about 30 minutes using nothing but the Magic Eraser and water, and they look as good as new on a 10yo vehicle. I'm genuinely amazed. Sorry for the lack of pics, I didn't snap any before shots because I didn't expect it to work nearly this well. Seriously, go try it.

(Use caution, these sponges are as abrasive as 3600 grit sandpaper)

Post some after pics. I'm curious to see the results even without a before. The reason being is that I used these sponges on my motorcycle and it dulled the finish before the crap that it removed.
