want to know what this is?

The paint on 'plastic' bumpers and trim pieces is, by design, different in composition. The trim really flexes quite a bit (from both temp changes and physical stress.) So, simply, since the addition of flex agents make a different paint formulation, one should expect different aging characteristics.



The fact that your white is likely a THREE stage pearlescent, just adds to the mix.



Odds are quite good that it all an oxidation issue. Is the car kept outside during the day?



As mentioned, start with AIO/PC#5 and go slowly, keeping the panel moist. AIO is only a chemical cleaner, but action of the PC/pad combo will do 'some' actual polishing.



If you don't see immediate results, it'll be time to cowboy up, and move to a polish that will actually cur the paint.



In my shop, we'd probably start with rotary/polishing pad/Meg's Speed Glaze.



Good Luck!

Flexathene® Thermoplastic Polyolefin's:

Are polymerised; this technology incorporates the ethylene-propylene rubber on a molecular level, to give an excellent balance of key properties such as impact strength and stiffness, and are used for aerodynamic spoilers, rocker panels and wings. The paint used usually contains an elastimeric additive (flex agents) to ensure its flexibility is maintained and to prevent `spider web' stress cracking
