Guys.

Dont wanna sound silly.... But you do realise you are not meant to polish the black plastics on a car? Use a seperate product rather and get a better result. Tape all plastic bits up. use the Autoglym, Megs etc and you wont have a problem....

I dont bother to get all taped up, and if a bit of megs does get on the rubber, it just rubs off. AG stains it with a white powder and is a beggar to get off.
I treat my rubber afterwards with megs trim detailer.

You wouldnt have this problem with your plastic bits were painted 
Look much better as well

Good point, does it look better on a BMP with the trim and bumper painted? Thats got me thinking about a paint job...

VW use different marketing names for colours and even some parts, depending on region. No idea why though!

E.g. here in Ireland...

Steel Grey = "United grey"
Diamond black = black magic
Monzas = detroits

Ok well you are only using one product, the shampoo conditioner! I have used that in the past and it is "ok". White bottle green writing right? You wouldn't experiance the chalky marks unless you'd used the paint restorer or SRP/UDS products.

I have the full range of AG and the SRP and Ultra Deep Shine DO leave white chalky residue over any vinyl or rubber parts which are a right pain to get off. From reading up about their range, they use chalk fillers to colour the liquids which dry and cause a problem.

Meguairs range is a far better product, try their gold class shampoo, nxt tech wax, hot wheels wheel cleaner, and then tell me you still prefer AG   
 
I'll be more specific next time for you Steve78 


Whats wrong with turtlewax?
