wax on plastic

[polo708]

plastic runners are horrible



I bought a used Trailblazer and the dealership probably did their infamous 10 minute wax job before they hand over the keys... there is leftover wax on the plastic door guards that I can't seem to get off now, any suggestions?



It's hard to see on the pic but its on the door, just above the B in TrailBlazer:

Yeah, I can see it. I have removed lots of wax stains with Poorboy's Trim Restorer. Apply it with a MF applicator and a little elbow grease, and the stains should come out pretty quickly.

awesome, thanks... I'll give it a try.

awesome, thanks... I'll give it a try.

I'd try the Trim Restore as well, but if for some reason it doesn't work for you, I just ran across this product at Autogeek: http://www.autogeek.net/wax-remover.html I haven't tried it myself, but it might be worth a shot.

I recommend Wax Blaster too.

Sometimes the wax stains can return after a while even with Trim Restorer. If you already have it, then give it a go, or Natural Look if you've got that.

Klasse All-In-One (AIO) might also be a solution.

I've had great success with trim restorer. I applied with a regular yellow foam applicator pad and the wax stains were gone. Don't forget to thoroughly buff off the TR once your done. It has a knack for running when it gets wet when you dont.

Yeah, I've removed wax from plastic with AIO. It's the only product I know that can be used both on paint and plastic. :xyxthumbs

Vanilla moose works good.

The best product I have found is Autoglyms bumper shine, it is also a great exterior dressing

There's many a thread on this subject in the archives.



Personally, I've never found anything better than Eagle A2Z wheel cleaner. It's got a new name now, don't know what it is.
