How To: Remove Dried On Wax The Correct Way

[AutopiaTech]

If you`ve ever encountered dried-on wax residue, you know what a pain in the butt it can be to remove. There are more home remedies for removing dried-on wax on plastic trim than there are for relieving the common cold. Some like to use peanut butter and others like to use WD-40. I like to use peanut butter on my sandwiches, WD-40 on moving parts, and Duragloss Wax Eraser #481 on dried-on wax residue. I`m known as being peculiar about things, which is certainly true, but then again I would never use a car care product on a sandwich just like I wouldn`t use peanut butter on my car.

That brings us to Duragloss, a company that was started over thirty years ago by two guys who are as peculiar about things as I am. Dr. William Bailey and his brother Jerry were dissatisfied with the car care products available at the time so they set out to design their own line of car care products. While Duragloss now has a complete line of car and boat care products, one of them in particular has gained the reputation for fixing the work of others and it`s aptly named Wax Eraser #481.

Duragloss Wax Eraser #481 takes exterior rubber/vinyl/plastic trim that looks like this...

And with a minute of your time...

Makes it look new again.

Like other products that Duragloss manufactures, Wax Eraser #481 straight forward and easy to use. It`s not a miracle product like WD-40 or your beloved 2 lb jar of peanut butter, but use Duragloss Wax Eraser #481 for its intended use and prepare to be flabbergasted. While it will never have a place in your kitchen or work bench, it will be your go-to product for its sole purpose, and that`s remove dried-on wax residue off plastic, vinyl and rubber exterior trim that`s often left behind by others.

Great review Nick. Now your making me hungry. Time for a peanut butter sandwich

[Addicted2Bling]

Awesome, a product that not only removes wax but reconditions rubber and plastic at the same time... That is a genius idea...

[BIOLINK]

Nice! I need to try that stuff.

Poorboys World Trim Restore, is my go for wax removal in areas as you`ve pictured. Its also a very versatile product that can be used for a variety of applications

Don`t forget the jelly!

I`ve got a brand new bottle I haven`t tried yet.

Either send the bottle to me then or get sloppy next time you wax your car so you can give it a try!

Looks good. I may need to try it out.

Unfortunately, I did not have the same experience with the product. I tried numerous times on different vehicles, but it simply did not work for me.

Did you have any success with other products that are designed to remove dried on wax residue?

[GoFast908Z]

I trust this works better than the barely adequate Wax Blaster they sell at Autogeek?
