Best to use a wax that does not hurt the appearance of rubber trim.
I found the Meguires Liquid Gold Class wax to disappear if it get on vinyl or rubber. I apply with a porter cable and remove with MF towel and it lasts a long time. It is expensive but awesome. So easy to remove.

Magic erasers are 100 % melamine.
Have you ever seen a broken melamine plate? The hard plastic dinnerware. Pretty hard to break, but when it does it shatters into large and small slivers that will easily cut flesh.
Melamine is also used in some countertops and shelves.
It is very hard and can form very sharp edges.

I was told it was the oil in the peanut butter that covers the wax but eventually you see it again. I dunno.

That's what I've always used, and it's never damaged the plastic. Dish soap is made to cut grease, oil and just about anything else. It strips plastic, glass, Tupperware and dishes down to a clean surface without damaging the surface. And therefore, it works very well on removing wax on plastic, without harming it. Not only does it remove the wax reside, but all dirt and contaminants too. The plastic trim will be clean, but you'll also need to rinse off the dish soap and apply some protectant, or whatever you normally use.

Meguiar's Liquid Gold spray wax is the key, spray on, rub a little with a 350 MF towel and it's gone. Not the Gold Class liquid wax, Works very well on soft vinyl tonneau covers too. Doesn't turn white whatsoever.
Not to be confused with the Quick Detailer or Quick Wax.
