Chad, I (and most others) have had this problem.   Someone earlier has
recommended a Meglair's #99 vinyl cleaner.  I'd like to try it, but
haven't been able to find it yet.   One product that was recommended
that did *NOT* work was 409 cleaner.   So far, the best thing I've
found is ArmorAll "Clean-Start".   It comes in a spray bottle.   I put
some into a small container and then apply it with a toothbrush and
wipe it off with a cloth.  Its fairly effective in removing the white
residue.   Others have suggested that some types of wax leave less
residue - Zymol - but I haven't tried this yet.

Hope this helps
