I just waxed my truck about 2 days ago and noticed that I have wax on some plastic peices. Whats the best way to get them off? TIA......

 

I asked the same question not to long ago, and I was told peanut butter and the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. Tried the magic eraser, and it worked.

 

Very careful with the MrC ME... ask Dzervit -- at least I think it was him. He ruined all of his door handles with it.

The simple answer is HOT water and a toothbrush. Peanut butter will conceal the wax more so than remove it....

 

Goo Gone on a soft rag. Don't touch the paint or it will remove the wax from there, too.

 

Windex worked on mine.
If you use peanut butter throw some Smuckers strawberry preserves on there and rub it off with bread.Now,you got pb&j sammiches!

 

RP so what would you recommend? He ruined his handles or the actual door?

 

My suggestion is quoted...? Water/toothbrush

Damaged his handles -- the black plastic.

 

oh..............

 

I agree fully, even those little black detail brushes everyone sells with black plastic bristles and water. I turn the brush on an angle too, but anyways do it good. It may leave a bit of residue, next time you wash, scrub it a bit and it usually comes right off or mostly.

 

I use this and it works good.

I've used a big pencil eraser and followed it up with a protectant. It turned out well for me. Pease note that this is on the grainy black plastic on the steps, side view mirrors and top of the rear bumper.

 

I use blue tape, especially around those friggen plastic wheel well moldings. I hate those things.

 

I use a pencil eraser, works great for me. I still do you use the painters tape, but sometimes I get a little sloppy.

 

i used WD40 and a rag, got off the wax real quick then i rubbed off all the WD so it wouldnt run onto the paint. worked for me.

 

One technique that's been working for me. I treat all the plastics with McGuiers vinyl cleaner protectant before I wax. Seems then if I miss and get a little wax on them it doesn't really adhere or "sink in" and I can just wipe it off and not get that white residue. Also, I've started using Black Magic Wetshine wax. It seems much more forgiving and doesn't leave a bad white residue if it touches the plastics like many other waxes. Excellent shine as well.
