Reccomendations for good plastic trim cleaner/protectant

As the title says I'm looking for a good plastic trim cleaner and protectant. My trim is really looking poor with older wax buildup, and a little discolor. There aren't too many pieces of plastic, but I'd like to get them looking as best as possible. I believe there is less room for correction since it's plastic, not paint.

This has been on my mind, and reason I post now is because the other night they we're doing construction on a highway I use to get home. Anyway it was single lane and I ended up going through a puddle. So the next day I noticed a white/powdry substance all splashed up. I ran through more than just water. I QD it of my paint with no problem but my wheel wells and plastic side skirts really took a beating. I just scrubbed with some APC and a soapy solution quickly which got some of it off, but theres still white film on it. I'm hoping a good plastic trim/cleaner and protectant would make light work of this. Since I plan on re-painting my calipers soon I plan to do it then with my wheels off.

Any recommendations would be great. Aside from APC only 'protectants' I have is Armor All Original formula and some 303 aerospace protectant.
