Default McGuire's ultimate liquid wax

McGuire's states that the ultimate liquid wax will not leave white residue on plastic trim. I have used other products that make the same claim, however while they don't leave white residue they would enriched the color of the trim so if you got it partially on the trim the end result is still trim that shows the effect of wax getting on it. If you have experience with McGuire's ultimate liquid wax does it do the same as I previously described. I would like to find a liquid wax and or sealant that can be applied without any concerns about getting it on the trim, rubber, and plastic on my bike and it leaving the visible difference.

Default Ultimate liquid Wax

The only wax I've used that will not leave residue on plastic or rubber trim is Collinite Insulator Wax # 845. Leaves a great long lasting shine too.

BlackFire, 4Star and Ultima paint guard plus. I have used them for years and have never noticed any trim issues. BF and 4star I apply with a polisher and Im moving pretty quickly. You can always tape off the plastics if you want.
Ultima applies differently then the others 2. No machine, just spray on to the included MF applicator and apply. There is no removal, it basically just flashes clear. Very good stuff if you have the time to apply it
