Wax residue removal for plastic/rubber trim (Found!)

I was searching for a way to remove the white wax residue on the black plastic trim strips on the door and bumper.
I've tried windex, regular car wash soap, Dawn dish washer soap, and even rubbing alcohol. None were 100% (or even close to 70%) effective.
Then I've found:
Meguiar's Gold Class TRIM DETAILER.
It describes itself as restoring richness to discolored black plastic and rubber. It also say it would remove wax residue.
I've tried it and it worked great! It didn't require much elbow grease, and even after a night of heavy rain, the black still look pretty good. The parts I went over is without the white wax residue.
I found it at the local Meijers (like Super-walmart) for $3 a bottle.
The only problem is that its a little greasy (like peanut oil I guess.. ;-)
and it made the black metal look hazy. I guess I'll have to be careful next time I apply it as I can't seem to get it off the painted part easily with a dry towel.
