Cleaning BLACK Trim

Any suggestions on what to use to clean the BLACK trim around the touring pack lights? I get a white haze no matter how careful I try to be when waxing the pack. Leaves smears. What can be used to make this shinny black again?

ALSO - what have ya'll found to work to clean the black dash board? Mine is factory and it gets a haze on it too. When I use water and a micro-fiber cloth it looks great...but once it dries I can see wipe marks and haze.

???

THANKS!

Mothers protectant, pretty sure that's what it's called. Armor all like, but dries nice and doesn't get dust and stuff stuck on it instantly like the other oily types do. I use it on the items you mentioned and the black in my tank console on the ultra. I actually got some on my windshield (tinted LRS) and polished it off and the shield looked great too. Good luck, hope this helps.

Cajun Shine All - it will not leave a haze. Works on everything (paint, plastic, rubber, windshields)
They won't let me post a link on here but just add a .com or Google it.

I use Pledge on both. Looks great and does not get dusty as quick.

Orange pledge appied with microfiber cloth and haze wiped off with another clean fiber cloth. Inexpensive and scrated are all but eliminated.

Pledge on the wheels & dash works great just tried it the other day and was amazed make sure you spray it on the cloth & wipe down. To be on the safe side after you do your wheels use some brake clean on your rotors.

Finally something I can contribute on!

Race Glaze Auto Trim Renewer is great

Amazon

I rub it in with my fingertips, let it sit for a while, then buff it off with a soft cloth. I renewed the bumper trim on my RK last weekend with it, great stuff.
