Does anyone else hate wax residue that gets on your black trim? I've tried back to black, trim detailer, and countless other products to get it off...but none of them have ever worked. Well I've got your solution lol. Peanut Butter. My Dad told me that that's what he used to use, and I thought it was a joke....but holy crap it's fantastic. I just scooped up a little into a spoon, went out and dabbed a bit w/ my finger and rubbed it onto the wax-tarnished trim area, then took a dish towel and wiped it off...it's completely gone! The best part is you'll probably have plenty left on the spoon...and it suuure does taste goood.

Just thought I'd share this "home remedy" since I've probably spent $50 on products that claim they can get it out.

 

Just use any vinyl eraser... less messy

 

good to know

 

ahh...I'll have to try that!

 

Two Words!

MAGIC ERASER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Get some, you will be impressed with just how much it will clean both inside and outside the car. I had this same problem, got myself some magic erasers, completely removed the wax residue. It is also great for cleaning interior trim pieces and yes, leather as well.

You have to be careful with the Magic Eraser because it can damage whatever you're putting it on. Unfortunately, I learned this the hard way. I try to be proactive about wax residue and just use Zaino. I'm very careful not to get any on the black trim, but if I do, the Zaino doesn't leave a residue behind. I wish it was warm enough around here so I could put another coat on. Damn Indiana weather!

 

Next time you wax, try dressing your trim before you wax. The residue should should wipe right off. I learned this trick from a professional detailer.

hahaha, i gotta try that, i always just taped it off before

 

and on a car this size, it's no time-happy task

 

vinyl eraser? what the heck is that?

 

would you mind explaining dressing please...

 

I like to hang Victoria Secret underwear on my car before I wax.
Just kidding!
Put whatever product you like to use(armorall etc.) on you black trim first. Wax will not stick to it, so your final cleanup is easier. You will also not have slikum residue on the paint from your dressing after you wipe of the wax.

all peanut butter does is use oil to remove the stains... you're better off using this stuff:



the peanut butter is just something that's floated down from over 20 years ago because they didn't have products like they have now. this stuff works, and not only will it remove that stuff, it's got so much silicone in it, you only have to use this 2-3 times per year on your vinyl/rubber for it to be properly protected... (tires need it everytime you wash though)
