often the white residue on the matte finish is from waxing the rest of the bike
Cleaning with a weak Simple Green solution will remove the white stuff. Use an old soft toothbrush.
The follow with Mother's Back to Black applications-may take 2 or 3. (avail. at wallyworld or auto parts stores). Meguiar's also makes a good product.
This also works well on the matte black on cars - bumpers, wheel arches, etc.
Needs to be kept up with every month or so.

This. All day this. Happens all the time on cages as well, and it drives me batty. If people are going to spend the extra time/money to wax it, do it right the first time. Considering every third car on the road is a crossover/truck/SUV, I cringe when I see plastic cladding all discolored.
Ask your wife to get you some MAGIC ERASER. She maybe already has some in the kitchen. I found it cleans nearly anything but will not scratch. When clean polish it withBack to Black or something similar. Mequires have this product I think. Gas or paint thinners may also do the job.
