Well ladies and gents this is why you don't let your 16 year old cousin help you detail your car. I thought I was being nice because he is in love with my car and wants to learn to detail like I do because he says I have the "best looking car in town", well not now. My driver mirror has some wax on it. It's on the black plastic part and I can't seem to get it out. Any suggestions?

 

same problem...except i did it. lol

mine came off with some glass cleaner. i wiped at it when i was doing my windows/mirrors and it came off.

 

I'm sure mother back to black would take it off I use mequiers interior protectant on them, because I havent used all of the mequiers yet, and havent bought the mothers.

 

pepsi or coke with a toothbrush works good for me.

 

i used the back to black and it looked good for a day or so, but then it looked white again.

 

If you want to go out and spend the chunk of change (anout $16) on ICE by Turtle wax it is worth it. I don't really like it as a wax/polish for the paint of the car but it does wonders on the plastic and rubber pieces. It gives them that "tire shine" look without being greasy to the touch and it lasts a few weeks on the plastics/rubbers.

 

Adam's VRT

best stuff out there

 

its really that hard to get off?

 

i have gotten wax off of my plastic mirror pieces with mineral spirits, gasoline....basically, if it strips wax off the paint...it'll take it off of your mirrors

 

i used ICE on it...took alot of it off, but there are still spots where its stayed. maybe i need to hit it again. Id DEFINTLY reccomend ice for all the plastics and rubber on the outside., but it just isnt a substitute for regular wax on the paint.

id get some ice and give it a try.

 

After i wax my car i use Adams VRT it is the best stuff out there it doesnt get some of it off it get all of it off and makes you plastic look great

 

Where do you get that stuff at? I am a Mequires guy for the most part. I also have used Zaino brothers on past cars, but not on this one because it seems to work best on dark colors.

I may give ICE a shot. I will have to go get some the next time I am out of town.

Try an eraser....it worked for me...Not a course one...just a regular one. Get one that large and comes to an angle that doesn't go on a pencil. The angled grooves fit in tight spots. Then hit it up with some Back to Black

 

I agree with marerick, try a white eraser. If that doesnt work, then try something else...

 

oh...just tried this today....use a mr. clean magic eraser...they work perfectly

 

Believe it or not, the REAL trick that most dealerships use (high end dealerships) is to buy some really good peanut butter, like Laura Scudders, and use ONLY the oil that floats on the surface.

Rub some of that on the milky spots with a clean cloth and it should take it right off.

Good luck with that.

 

X2 I have tried it and it works great. Just make sure ur dog doesnt try licking it off when you not looking.

later

 

i should give the PB a try...

thats or go buy the ice is the PB does not work..

 

use peanut butter

 

Its actually the peanut oil that takes it off , grab a small bottle of it at any food store
