Cliff Notes: Royal Blue polish, wax, and scratch remover is shit, never use it.

This is what has happened to my mirrors and door handles since I detailed my truck. The product I used is some stuff I picked up at the Montana State Fair called Royal Blue. It is a polish, wax, and scratch remover. On the bottle, it is explicitly listed that it can be used on plastic. So I figured that it would act like rubbing compound does on plastic in terms of removing oxidation; wow was I wrong. As you can see from the pictures, my mirrors, door handles, and any other plastic area have developed a white haze over them. After going back and forth with the company, Elite Products, for damn near a month, they finally shipped me some stuff which is supposed to remove the Royal Blue. I have a package sitting at the post office which I am assuming is the remover so I'm hoping to test it out yet this week. Elite Products did not want to help me out at all until I threatened to contact a lawyer about suing their ass for replacement mirrors and door handles from what their product f*cked up. That's when they finally started to listen even though they still bitched at me the entire time saying I should have known that the Royal Blue is only to be used on smooth plastic surfaces (my mirrors and door handles are a rough plastic). Yet all along, the damn bottle says right on it that it can be used on plastic surfaces. Anyways, the pictures tell the story....
