Plastic does not rust, that looks like some other type of staining maybe hard water.

The black trim is made out of rubber/plastic.ive had to have it replaced due to it getting unglued.

Might be rail rust? Try a clay bar

+1 on rail dust. I'd start with Iron X, Dodo Juice, or some other iron removal solution first and then use a clay bar.
