This works really well. I posted a picture of this some time ago here on Bitog. Only use it for dull black plastic. Magic eraser will make shiny surfaces dull. It's basically a sponge with fine-grit sand in it. Same reason to tape off painted surfaces next to the dull black plastic you want to clean.
It was the only thing I could find that could get nu-finish off black plastic.

Tried the peanut butter tonight with wax that had baked onto black plastic all summer long. It worked like a charm. A little Jif and an old toothbrush, 5 seconds on brushing and it's gone. Wonder what's in the PB that makes it work?

Peanut oil.
Like dissolves like. Liquid oils can soften dried oils.
