The plastic B pillar is notorious for getting swirls and scratches because it's soft. I wouldn't touch it except to wash it with a nice soft wool wash mitt. I'm not sure if there is really a benefit to waxing it. The less your touch it, the better for scratches. I would consider polishing it very lightly when it does get those swirl marks, either with a plastic polish, or a very super fine last step car polish. Having a dual action polisher and a small 3.5 inch pad is best. However, I have not actually tried to polish it yet with those methods.
Those other areas you mentioned, I use a product called Meguiar's D16332 Tire & Trim Gel. The main benefit of this product, it's VOC compliant, which means it has low levels of volatile compounds, doesn't sling, and is water based, which is extremely important on rubber tires and trim. Every detail video I've seen on tires recommends using a water based product only. So far my experience using this product has been excellent.
