I've had pretty good results with Mothers Back to Black. It works pretty good at removing wax residue on plastic pieces also.

i have not tried anything...i have heard that sometimes, depending on the material, certain products can actually dry it out more when exposed to excessive sun. i will try and get a photo tomm. but when looking at the sunroof outside its the black plastic around the glass...
