overzealous waxing

[Brendan Masterson]

Now that I've waxed the truck, overzealously, how do I get the wax off the textured moldings?

Peanut butter works well....

You are kidding Todd right?

Mr. Clean Magic Eraser, the regular ones or the ones for your tires will work. -Heather

A simple gum-type eraser will work also.

I use that blue painter's tape to mask off anything I don't want hit by the wax. Saves a bunch of time in the long run.

I second the Mr. Clean eraser

2nd on the peanut butter- works well and is cheap, nothing to go out and buy.

Tried the peanut butter once but it didn't work to well. Perhaps I used the wrong brand. Where do you get the Mr. Clean eraser?

 

[GccST]

You can get them at any grocery store or Walmart.

 

[Heather Rueckert]

TomT- at Walmart in the cleaning supplies or in the automotive section. -Heather

 

[John Mastrocco]

You have to use the crunchy. Extra crunchy works even better!

 

[Travis Munday]

If you can get just peanut oil, that works even better then peanut butter. I've used PB on the paint itself before to remove some left over adhesive, works just fine, although it may take a few tries to get evverything off.

I have used some Mean Green All-purpose cleaner and an old toothbrush to remove wax (Meguire's NXT) from mine. Worked well.

 

[Gary DiPietroSr]

I use the tire black spray on all the black plastic. Spray it on a cloth and wipe away the wax. Gary D. in CT

This has already been discussed before and it seemed like the two that worked the best were:



1. Pencil Eraser

2. Yes peanut butter.

Surprised the Zaino-holics haven't jumped in on this thread.



You could switch to a different wax/polish. I've found that the Meguiars NXT Tech Wax is easy to remove should you get it on rubber trim.

Mother's Back-To-Black, it's made for getting wax residue off. The stuff is actually white and is fine to use on the gray trim. Puts a nice shine on as well.

Peanut butter works.
