the best thing is to not get it on, or if you do, get it off immediately. but like mentioned interior stuff should work well.

Laura Scudder's Peanut butter oil. Just use the oil from the top of the jar with a clean rag.

That one is temporary, and doesn't really remove the haze permanently.

things needed
steel wool
window cleaner
blue painters tape.

step one, mask off all painted area's around affected "wax residue"

spray window cleaner onto steel wool.

GENTLY rub the steel wool across the black plastic parts. wipe off water left behind.


this also works on "some" scuff marks on the interior. remember, your interior parts are painted, not cast in that color. be careful!

THe first time I used TW ICE, I used it on the old wax on the plastic, the grill and mirrors. It completely removed it, and has never reappeared, at least on my car.
