cartman Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 Is there a method for removing wax off of Exterior Flat Black Plastic, similar to plastic trim on bottom of Legacy rear bumper? My Fiance waxed too quickly and left the wax on for several months on her car. 'Back to Black' exterior trim dressing hides it, but you see it when the dressing fades. I tried a search, but came up empty. If this has been posted before, flame away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eldiablo Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 I've used Black Again in the past. Worked pretty good. http://www.autogeek.net/blackagain.html My VB Garage... Pumping the air back into despair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenchan Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 you guys should try BlackWow. http://www.showcardetailing.com/ this thing turns every black trim black and remainds matte black for a very very long time. i tried back to black, meg's vinyl dressing, griots, etc. etc. nothing compares to BW. http://www.showcardetailing.com/Images/Catalog/DSC_8710.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iyalla Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 Get some Isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol, soak a rag with it and rub the left over wax away. Rinse thoroughly afterwards. The stuff mentioned above will just cover it and it will come back after they eventually fade just like you found out with "Back to black" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brady Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 ^^^ Or ... and I'm being serious here ... try Peanut Butter. The peanut oil breaks up the wax and should help remove the chalky white staining. I'm actually planning on busting out the Peanut Butter tonight on a detail I'm working on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kenchan Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 I use the magic eraser. Works great on everything. sure, it also removes clearcoat too. well, on plastic who cares i guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenchan Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 btw, rubbing alcohol will dry your plastic and turn it whitish fade.... and you end up needing dressing for it later on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpetty Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 sure, it also removes clearcoat too. well, on plastic who cares i guess. Nope, I wouldn't wash my car with them, but I use them on my wheels and they have zero effect on the finish there. Magic Eraser kicks ass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magic Eraser kicks ass. it's been around in Japan for years. i use it for cleaning pots and pans and ceramics, stoneware. you can use it on wheels too, but it does remove clearcoat while it removes the grime. works best with just water, no soap.

Bdubs Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 I'm gonna try the magic eraser. The dealer gobbed the crap out of the wax and got it all over that piece, and it has been pissing me off since day 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iyalla Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 oh, so post up your bottle of BW cause i want to know that you actually tried this product. it's only been out on the market for about a month. i doubt you even had the chance to try it. I don't have to try it to know that it covers up whats on there. I bet you have to re-apply it every 6 months or so right? If you didn't it would be paint duh!
