Does anyone know of a product that will remove white wax residue swirls from black plastic door and window rubber molding?

While out of town, I had my 01' Screw detailed after running over a can of bright yellow spray paint. I thought all was well until I got home and washed my truck. I now have white wax residue swirls on all the black plastic door and window rubber molding. Is there a product that will remove this wax residue?

 

Try Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. It will leave a lttle residue, but this washes right off.

 

don't use the eraser. see above posts about the results if you do.

 

DANGER DANGER WITH THE MAGIC ERASER!!!

It destroyed my '04's handles. However, it did work very well on my bimmers black trim. The lesson? Test a VERY small area first to see if it discolors the molding!!!

 

I've used Mother's Back to Black, with mixed results (sometimes it cleans it up, other's it just covers it up). The best thing I found was a white drafting eraser. It's a lot of elbow grease, but it works really well. I've also used Meguiar's protectant wipes, it cleans really well, but runs when it rains.

 

I'll back up tsc on the white drafting eraser. It works on most marks and doesn't damage the trim. It's also handy...I keep one in the armrest of my truck.

 

ive used mr clean with no ill effects on my trim. King is correct it leaves white residue that will wash off.

As has been mentioned, some have experienced adverse effects from the Mr. Clean ME but, I can say that I've had nothing but good luck with it and it's performed just like it was supposed to perform.

With that in mind, you should try a very very small area in an inconspicuous spot to test for colorfastness as well as abrasion. You see, the MCME removes residue by ABRASION and thus, if you have plastic that is coated with something or something similar, you may end up in a bad situation.

What trim, specifically, are you referring to?
