i just bought wax blaster from autogeek. haven't used it yet. going to tonight. let you know how it goes.

 

what is wax blaster?

 

Back to black. I think that's what it's called. Go to Wal-mart Red bottle. It works perfectly

 

you can get it from autogeek.net . . like i said, i just got it in the mail and it's supposed to take care of all of that wax residue for you. http://www.autogeek.net/wax-remover.html

 

It is hard for me to believe that you need a product to remove wax from plastic moldings, when in reality some products will not harm you plastic trim, when I see staff like this it makes me wonder about the quality of that wax in use. it is more amazing that company's make a product to remove the wax, if that was me after the first time that happens to me, I be placing that product in the garbage bin and I be moving on to a better product, there's no way I could deal with such of pain every time I wax my car.

 

just wash it off

 

i have gotten wax on trim before and it turned white....im gonna try this back-to-black stuff...

but it was the 3m wax and i havent used it since then....since then its been your guys stuff or my poorboys combo

 

btw i did throw this wax away after... but it does not come off i repeat does not come off with water no mater how hard you scrub.

 

i have the same prob dried wax on the black part of my mirrors

 

Back to black I heard works wonders. Meguiars step 1 in the 3 step system also works.

 

if you used turtle wax ice to begin with that would have heppened

 

That used to happen to me but I have since went to using one of those sponge things when waxing near the black plastic on the mirrors and on the painted part of the mirror as well.

About the back to black, it is alright but too much of a pain in the **** and more work than it's worth.

Also a little tip, you could use painters tape to tape off the black part before waxing so that doesn't happen and save yourself ~$8 on a bottle of back to black.

 

or you could get some black magic tire cleaner(the spray can) and clean your tires and black plastic trim(exterior of car). works for me and my plastic is still perfect. oh and i use synthetic wax because it wont leave residue plus i personally think it looks better.

 

good carnauba wont leave a thing on black pieces...

 

theres this stuff called "back to black" from autozone that works

 

peanut butter takes it off, no joke
or put on some turtle wax ice

 

yea it does....

but use something better than turtle ice to protect....

 

turtle wax ice for the trim, normal wax for the car

 

but back-to-black or black wow or 303 work so much better

 

Dawn soap, or the other products listed

 

same thing happened to me. just use goo gone worked well for me

 

Seconded...

I haven't used Black Wow! personally, but I've seen many before and after shots on various detailing forums. The results are great.

Also, 303 is my go-to dressing. It dries to a nice, even finish. Use it in the engine bay, on trim pieces, on the dashboard, shift boot, on any piece of rubber or plastic, it serves its purpose well.

The only thing I don't use it for is the wheel wells, I've got Meguair's Hyper Dressing for that. It's a bit more cost effective seeings that 303 costs me about $13 dollars a bottle

 

I tried this on my mirrors it didn't really work too well if not at all. =/
