What to use??

[g35]

Hi everyone,
I have a infiniti G35. There are some small traces of glue and fingerprints on the metal trimming and on the plastic cd player front. A friend of mine told me to use products without Ammonia on plastic because ammonia can leave residue on the surface. Can anyone suggest what product to buy and use to clean and protect the plastic surface such as the the one covering the guages, cd player surface, and metal trimming.


Sorry, I don't know much about car detailing and cars. So, I might not use the correct terminology.

Thank for your help!!

This is from another thread, but it should help you to learn about Meguiar's plastic products, sounds like M17 would be a good choice.

I thought that since "PlastX" removes scratches, it might be too strong or abrasive, for newer plastic.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

PlastX can be used for maintaining plastic in new condition, but it's probably overkill because there are other plastic products more specifically formulated for your application.
