A week ago or so, I received a few great tips for washing, wax, etc.. on my car. I used some Meguiars Tire Cleaner on my door handles and man, did they look 100x better.. then it rained.. then it rained some more.

Now, they're almost back to the silvery-gray colour again but that's not the real problem. The tracks of film and gunge running down my doors and off of the rear view mirrors from the Meguiars residue is the problem. Is this bad for the paint (I can't imagine it's any good)? Any tips on keeping this from happening in the future?

As always, thanks in advance for any suggestions, opinions and additions to the thread.
