I used brake cleaner but some people think its a bit harsh to use on bits of trim.

I use masking tape, but before I did, I found that most back to black type stuff did the trick...

no. carnuba is what it's made from instead of chalk based.
Try something like the blue zymol bottle wax £12.99 from Halfords. I dont think that stains, and you can use that on the black bits without fuss.
