Title: Removing wax from black trim
Post by: clapton924 on March 01, 2009, 07:38:29 PM
No matter how careful I am, it seems I always get some wax on my black trim in places. It is really hard to get off due to the texture of the plastic.  I've had moderate results using a tooth brush and some of Mother's Back-to-Black dressing.  Has anyone discovered a method that works well for this?

I'm sure there are a few other guys on here that can help you with that better than I could.  I can suggest using painters tape in those areas the next time you wax your car to prevent it from happening.

Painters tape is a good idea. Prevention might be the answer.

Use some quick detailer as a cleaning solution. That's what I use.

There is a clear wax product called ICE that can be used on trim pieces, and I've found that it actually removes was resedue
