    How to remove wax from car plastic trim or bumpers

    I`m sure most people here know how to do this, but I`ve seen this question asked a few times so here`s a short helpful (hopefully) video I made on it.

    Nice vid, but over 2 min. with a apc and brush on a 7" piece of trim is a bit much IMO.

    Great video. Thanks for sharing Roshan.

    The Adam`s sprayer looks to work very well with the APC.

    I agree, seems like a lot of work for little return, where you could usually use KAIO to wipe away wax residue on most trim, or something similar.

    Nice video. I would some less skilled to put something over the paint in case the brush slips.

    My go to for wax removal on plastics like that is Poorboy Trim Restore, it`s done in the same fashion with a brush...and plus side of Trim Restore it also restores the plastic back to new looking at the same time

    I actually did a few tests the day before at thirty seconds and one minute, and two minutes with Adams apc and optimum apc (the only apc products I know of that say are explicitly safe on black plastic). With both products at thirty seconds and one minute not all wax was removed, which led me to the two minute recommendation

    the stuff was on my trim for a very long time so that may have something to do with it...

    It was a good sprayer and good product. I think if someone is buying Adams apc, they will be happy, but it is expensive.
