It's really very mild stuff so the chances of damage are close to nil. I would not use a wheel though just because of the proximity to the weatherstripping . Use a wax pad and go really easy by hand. Guaranteed to work.

Personally I use meguairs scratch x 2.0, then follow with wax. You can also use a glaze in between like meguiars #7. Lots of good products out there though. Good luck. I would definitely go by hand as kyoshi suggest.

Might take multiple applications if the trim is really bad. The abrasives in scratch x decrease as you use it...might just need a little more pressure too.

Actually the newer scratchX uses a different type of abrasive, so it doesn't need to break down.
No need to be scared about polishing with a machine. With whatever product you use, it would make a very quick job. Claying would be a good idea too. |

I think the issue with using a machine is really that it is hard to get the inside edge, especially at the back window. |

Cleaner wax works... just did this a few weeks ago. Trim had a rainbow haze to it too and the cleaner got rid of all that and left it a nice shiny black.

good info to find. Got some water marks all over my hood and passenger side door when out of town over the weekend– so it sat for a little. After clay bar and regular wax, it did nothing... time to give the cleaner wax ago.
