Getting Rid Of Wax On Plastic

[fraiolib]

so every once in a while i get the ambition to wax my truck. but i always seem to get some on the black plastic, then it turns white. how do i get rid of that?

Try using back to black by mothers and this should probably be in the appearance section.

A good cleaner like Simple Green and a soft-bristled brush works for me. Even an old toothbrush would probably work if its a small area.

 

Another trick I learned was using dark colored wax. You don't notice it in all the little tight spots as much and it only looks gray when you accidently get it on your mirrors, mud flaps, etc.

I use purple power.

I asked this question a while back:

I found that a regular white eraser idea works.

Cheapest most effective way to fix that, Peanut Butter and a toothbrush. Works amazing I swear. Just make sure you wash the peanut butter off afterwards haha.

 

Edit: White eraser works ok... but not as well as PB

My truck doesn't like PB, it likes ethanol free gasoline.

Yup, I was going to suggest the peanut butter...

As in previous posts, I find effective:

a) Simple Green & girlfriend's toothbrush.

b) Good quality (white) eraser.

c) As a preventative measure: Masking off plastic areas where practical. PIA, but can save wax removal time overall.

Distilled white vinegar or peanut butter

This has been discussed a million times in the appearance section.

WD-40 works fine for this.
