There is lots of talk on the board about products that HIDE wax stains on plastic exterior trim. Is there anything that REMOVES the wax stain?

 

peanut butter.

 

yeah there is but i cant remember what its called. meguiers vinyl cleaner? something like that.n wouldnt suprise me if soap and water would work. too bad its gonna be hard to keep it off the truck.

 

And a toothbrush. It works.

 

I swear by 2 cycle gasoline! I use a mixture of 33 to 1 like you would use in a Lawn Boy lawnmower. Just a little on a shop rag an it disolves the wax.

 

does peanut butter do anything to the wax on the car? how about the gasoline?

 

Also Peanut oil will work.

Someone said this just hides it, but I have not tried it to know for sure.

On the black textured parts I use the Rough Touch Scrubs in a bucket. This are rough paper towels that have the orange what ever mixture for cleaning your hand on the job site.

The ones I have are from the Supply house from ITW / Dymon, but I am sure that this are just relabeded from someone else.

The towels are blue with white lines in them, there are 72 in the bucket.

I use them on the window trim that is not smooth, if you get near anything smooth, it will have scratches on it when you are done. Bumper covers and the window trim that is not smooth it worked fine.

i use westleys Black magic the same stuff to clean tires with it will remove all the wax stains. A guy in a detail shop showed me how well it works it is also cheap.

 

Black Magic works. Wrap a rag around the tip of your finger,
spray a little on the tip of your finger and rub/dab it off.

Works good

Having a couple of wax stains myself, the peanut butter/peanut oil trick just conceals. After several washings, it's still there.

I've yet to 'remove' my stain. I just keep concealing it.

Yep, peanut butter is only good for sandwich's, and if you use it on your truck for detailing then it's the only thing you can lick off your fingers...

I had some wax on my plastic trim once and used what I believe Intel suggested. I got some soap in a bucket and a stiff brush and just scrubed it off. You might want to use some Dawn dishwashing soap because its great at removing wax.

 

a white rubber eraser is what i use and it works every time it pulls the wax outta the texture

 

Also, remember that where ever the dawn manages to get on your paint while scrubbing, you'll need to rewax those areas because dawn is darn good at removing wax from painted surfaces...
