I have heard this before and I am sad to tell you it is true - Windex basically melts that stuff. Brilliant engineering there. However, I found that some acetone based nail polish my wife had laying around worked even better. I just put it on, let it soak in for a minute and took the mess off with a stiff brush.
I then scuffed it up a little bit with some 000 steel wool I had and washed them.
Most importantly, I looked at a few paints, but in the end repainted them with PlastiKote (don't confuse with PlastiDip) T-2 Flat Black and it is an exact match with the black turn signal and wiper arms behind the wheel. It looks like it's a factory finish.
Thanks man! Followed your recommendation and came out great! PlastiKote is perfect color and texture.
