Tape off the trim before you polish . . .

Blitz wax never seems to create that problem for me.

Default Apply protectant (i.e. vinylex, etc.) to the trim before polishing/waxing...
Although the brand of wax makes a difference, too. Meguiar's products seem to buff right off of these surfaces. Most vinyl protectants will probably remove any residue from the trim.

I've noticed that the blitz washes off any of the trim/rubber pieces if you get stuff on it
