Default Removing polish/wax around door handles?

As title really guys, makes my black car look dirty with white around the handles! So how do I remove it?

Kosta

Meguiars do swabs (like big cotton buds!) that do the trick.

if you get it on the plastic trim quick detailer on a terry cloth will get it off. if the gaps around the handles, a tooth pick, tooth brush, fine natural hair paint brush or best of all imo, megs do a 3 in 1 detail brush.

I always use a smidge of WD-40 on a cloth.. Always have loads of that hanging around as my second motor is an old land rover!

Would that not scratch the paint work?

not if you're careful. wouldn't use it anywhere where it'd be too visible. detail brush is best bet.

if you're having to put too much pressure on to be able to remove the residue then chances are what ever you use will mark the paint anyway.
