If I'm not mistaken, that stuff is more for restoring faded plastic trim rather than protecting it in the first place.
Wax on a plastic trim, particularly if it's textured, may not buff out very well and leave residue.

I'd go with something like 303 Aerospace Protectant.

They are painted. I use a sealant. No problems at all. easy on, easy off.

It says on the wax to not put it on painted plastic. I will try it anyways like you guys say

I would follow directions on your wax can. I use a 100% Carnauba wax and it is fine to use on plastic's.

303 Aerospcae Protectant works fantastic! Got the tip from FRF when I got mine and I have been REALLY pleased. The stuff is AWESOME on tires as well.
