removing wax on black vinyl trim

[mcmrocks]

I have a ford sport-trac truck and I have black vinyl around the wheel wells and bumpers. Recently I got car wax on there and I dont know how to remove it. Can anybody help? thanx

Lots of ways.

A mild APC and a medium bristled brush.

Poorboy's Trim Restorer works well if you work it in with a brush.

Some guys like using the Magic Eraser from Mr. Clean.

Some guys even like using peanut butter.:crazy:

I also sell a product called the Wax Blaster that is specifically for doing this.

:cheers:

Looks like Troy has got you covered! :bigups

 

[Mr. Clean]

Yeah, I can't think of anything more to add; except to wonder if there are still people out there doing the peanut butter thing.

 

[Poorboy]

just remember that sometimes the solvents in a wax or polish if left on the trim too long will discolor the trim and the only real fix will be a paint or dye.
I've seen people use permanent markers to touch up spots and some that end up painting the trim.
The restorers and other products sometimes end up being a temporary solution that will need to be repeated often to maintain the look.

Peanut Butter should do the trick, But I'll bring the jam........:cheers:

Back to Black is a good option if one has been remiss in his application methods. I know this because when I first started detailing the old Black truck of mine using a PC for applying everything from paste to liquids I know that I was a little to liberal with the pad and polish. What the heck...It got applied to everything to many times. With Back to Black and a regular regemine of Trim Restore I was able to keep the white haze from improper application at bay. Wish I had that old back truck back.:wall

WD-40 also works. Spary it on a rag and rub it on the trim.

I think there are two things that need to happen...one is to clean the old wax out...then protect it.

For me I've not seen one product do both as well as trim restore from Steve.

Troy I've not used the wax blaster is that a similar product to TR?

I have used Mr.Clean Magic Eraser sponge to get some wax off my trim before. It works great. I have also used Griots dried wax remover with some sucess.

Duragloss wax eraser

peanut butter worked great on my door handles...applied with a toothbrush and let sit for 10 minutes and hosed off.They look new,didn't even have to bust out my trim restorer

The TR would have added some protection to them and conditioned at the same time
