Waxing JK - What to use on fenders?

Just bought my 2012 JK 3 days ago and I am thinking of how to wax it when the weather breaks.

It is a black hardtop with the stock plastic fenders. I know from the past that you don't use wax on plastic so I am not sure how to treat the fenders. Actually the bumpers too. They look like they would need special treatment also.

I already have a good wax for black paint picked out. And on my 2013 Mustang I use something called Aerospace 303 spray on its decals. I was wonderinf if that would work?

Some people use the new turtle wax ice, as it doesn't cloud over white on plastic. I personally prefer the look of a proper dressing like the before mentioned Meguiars or Mother's Protectant. Meguairs and Mothers both have restorers if your fenders start to fade or stain.

I get tired of trying to delicately go around all the plastic: I'll use tape on the plastic stuff such as fenders and the bumpers on the hood itself. Wax like crazy and not have to deal with those annoying white streaks later.
