How do I get rid of these WATERMARKS? Annoying me!

hey guys,

so on the trim on my doors of my e90 I am always left with very ugly watermarks that make it look very old and faded. Especially next to the trim thats covered with vinyl.. this is a pic I took earlier today:



I'm sure there is some sort of product like back-to-black that I can use to get rid of these but want to know if there's a permanent way to get rid of them without having to use the product every time I wash my car..

Some very light polish?
I have Klasse AIO and it works great for cleaning those type of things. Top it off with some 303.

+1 on Klasse. A drop on a yellow hand applicator, few strokes and they are gone. Klasse AIO is great on painted but not clearcoated areas, I did my windshield wiper arms as well, look great and shed water right off, preventing from future staining

Pretty sure g6 hyper coat from CG should do the trick. I think its a cleaner of vinyl and plastic.
