Description: (Taken from Autopia`s website)
McKee`s 37 Wax Remover for Plastic is an easy-to-use product that will rid your vehicle of unsightly dried-on wax residue for good! This unique, gentle formula actually dissolves even the toughest wax, compound, and polish residues leaving behind nothing but a perfectly clean trim piece.

Nothing spoils an otherwise perfect detail like a patch of dried on wax or polish residue on plastic trim. To make matters worse, it’s always SO obvious—a big white mess on your deep black trim! Sometimes it seems like these spots pop up after EVERY detail, even when you’ve meticulously taped off and protect what seemed like everything! Even the pros will see a white spot every now and again, and that’s where McKee`s 37 Wax Remover for Plastic comes in handy.
Whether it’s on plastic, rubber, or vinyl a splatter or smear of your compound, polish, or wax can sully an otherwise perfect detail. Don’t let that happen again! Keep a bottle of McKee`s 37 Wax Remover for Plastic on hand at all times and any detailing missteps will be quickly resolved—err—dissolved! A quick spritz of McKee`s 37 Wax Remover for Plastic followed by a little agitation with a brush or towel will COMPLETELY eliminate the residue. That’s right, there won’t be even the hint of a faint stain to remind you of the time you bumped your buffing pad into the trim! And just in case you overdo it with McKee`s 37 Wax Remover for Plastic, the formula is clear coat safe, so you can safely wipe away any accidental overspray.
Price:
$14.99 for 8oz (on sale for $12.99)
$24.99 for 16oz (on sale for $19.99)
Introduction:
This review will be short and sweet. I just want to showcase how well this product works. I was skeptical when I first saw this product because I thought it was just another APC. But boy I was wrong.
Review:
Here`s a picture of the product description and instructions:
For this review, I wanted to test and see how well this product works. So I applied one of my favorite long lasting sealants to my plastic trim - Menzerna Powerlock.
Starting with a clean surface, I applied Powerlock to the side skirt and rear diffuser as shown.
Side skirt:
Rear Diffuser:
Not only did I apply it to a big area but I also applied it THICK!! I may have gone a little overboard. A few friends told me that Powerlock is a PITA to remove from plastic trim and after I heard that, I got scared. Why did I apply so much? What if the wax remover doesn`t work? Doubts set in LOL! At this point, I was just hoping this product works as advertised.
To make the test better, I let the LSP bake in the hot AZ sun for more than a week to ensure the LSP was dry and on the plastic really good. In fact, when it came time to use the wax remover, I washed the car and the LSP applied to the plastic trim didn`t budge at all.
Here`s how the LSP looked like after more than a week of baking and after washing the car:
Side Skirt:
Rear Diffuser:
I just followed the directions in the bottle.
Spray the product on the affected plastic trim:
Let the product dwell for 30 seconds (I might have waited slightly longer than that because I was taking pictures and all):
I didn`t have a nylon brush so I used the stiffest brush I have - the tuf shine tire brush. Start scrubbing the affected area. You can see flakes of the dried up LSP coming off as you brush the surface. Pretty amazing!
The picture below shows the surface after it has been brushed. I was already impressed at this point. There`s no trace of dried up LSP at all.
Wipe off the reside with a microfiber towel:
Here`s the side skirt after everything is said and done:
Looks pretty good right?? Now let`s do the same procedure on the rear diffuser.
Spray the product on the affected plastic trim and let it dwell:
Brush the affected area:
The product is clearly removing dried up LSP and you can see it flaking off:
Wipe off excess product:
Rear diffuser after:
Thoughts and Observations:
The smell of this product wasn`t bad at all. I thought it being a wax remover, it will smell like APC or degreaser. It smells pretty good actually. It has a hint of an alcohol smell to it though but not very strong.
The product dries up a little fast so you have to start brushing after 30 seconds.
I didn`t really care for the press down spray trigger of the 8oz bottle. I wish the smaller bottle came with the normal trigger sprayer like the one in the 16oz.
The product works really well and removes dried up LSP with ease. If this can remove Powerlock, I`m sure any wax will be a walk in the park.
Conclusion:
This product works extremely well as advertised. I thought this will just be another APC that doesn`t really work that well in removing excess wax residue on plastic trim but boy I was wrong. If you have caked on LSP that you have difficulty removing from plastic trim, you need to give this product a shot! You will be blown away.
Hope you enjoyed this review. Comments are appreciated.
