Default C6 plastic cleaning.

On the underside of the hatch on my C6 there is black plastic of some sort surrounding the rear window. I noticed some streaks on it (like water drips) and tried to clean it. Well the vinyl cleaner I used made it worse. Also tried armorall {I know, I know). No luck. What do you recomend for cleaner for this plastic.

I normally just use a quick detailer and microfiber towel.

I forgot, I tried that first as I was going around quick detailing various things. Now it seems I need to use something to clean off the residue from the vinyl cleaners. Maybe good old dawn?

You might try plain distilled water.
