The reason I used silicone is because with wax, if you have any impefections in the paint, they will just SCREAM out at you as a big white splotch. In addition, wax wont help your vinyl and plastic trim to look any better. Petroleum products, on the other hand, darken scratches and make them blend into the overall background (especially if the car is black). Silicone your plastic side mirrors and see the difference! The plastic will have a deep rich sheen.

Some @ss keyed my old lx and I walked up to the big white scratch and spread a little used engine oil on it. The scratch just disappeared. You could barely see it even if you knew where to look!

Mild abrasvie? Wont that take the surface gloss off the paint?
