Remove Wax from Trim

What is the best way to remove wax from black trim, rubber weather stripping, etc. ??

 

^^X2 or WD-40.

WD-40 doesn't hurt your paint either...... Remember WD-40 Is a mechanics secret.

 

X3

 

Something to think about for next time...use a wax that doesn't stain.

Also, if you scrub the trim with one of these waxes and a sponge or microfiber, in many cases it will actually remove the wax stains from other products.

 

True story....

PEANUTBUTTER

seriously it removes the white residue easily. This is an old detailers secret.

 

I'd like to add....dont wax the trim

 

The PB trick does work, however, its usually just the oils in the PB that cover up the wax, and not necessarily remove it.

May also consider trying a quick detailer or all purpose cleaner and microfiber towel. Always did the job for me.

 

Im in need of doing this too. Thanks for the thread OP lol.

 

I was told that you should dress your trim prior to waxing and polishing, that way it can wipe off easier.

 

yep, read that in the ask the detailers thread and thought it was BS.
Nope, its for real.

what I want to knowis how someone figured that out

 

used some purple power and a mini scrubber...worked perfectly!

 

Staedtler eraser. No joke, it's dirt cheap, it's disgusting how well it works.

 

I had this same problem for a long time....wax residue on my black trim. I used some Goo Gone citrus spray and it took it right off. I was amazed.

 

I need to do this too...I waxed my truck a few weeks back and it finally rained and all of a sudden I have wax on the black trim. Kinda weird because it wasn't there when I waxed...

 

Turtle Wax Ice liquid polish removes wax residue off of trim. That's all I use anymore.

 

Old School "PINK" Eraser, the little square ones with angles on them are good for precison removal.

 

Any of the above idea but add a toothbrush.

 

Mars erasers.......you can buy them at Staples

 

Really? Gotta try this out sometime. I wax mine every two weeks since its parked outside most of the time and waxing is a headache because of all that plastic!

 

i have to try the eraser method. I got wax on the tube steps black grips.
