Wax on front splitter

OK, I screwed up —*when I was waxing my car (with Meguiar's Gold Class Liquid Wax (G7016)), some wax got onto my front splitter and on the front grill. now these previously gorgeous black things look a little bit whitish. What would be my best option to restore proper black there? Thanks!

I've used Simple Green at full strength, and had good results.

Some APC and a toothbrush is what I use. Comes right off then I follow it up with some SVRT to get a deep black to the splitter

I use Chemical Guys VSP dressing for all my black plastic. Just rub it on with a applicator pad and it makes it look brand new black. I used to have the same problem you had before using this product. I bought the 64 oz. and use it on all of my plastic and rubber.
