Can be a pain, but my first try is always glass cleaner. If that doesn't work, try something like AG SRP on the waxy areas of plastic (trust me) but you must buff it off IMMEDIATELY lol. Good luck

Always heard about linseed/olive oil on black plastics. Same deal with peanut butter I'd imagine.

True.   

Put peanut butter all over it and park it in a dog park.
