removing polish/wax from plastic trim?
I have gotten polish/wax on the plastic strips and it won't come off. I have dressed it with Poorboys trip restorer to no avail. What can I do when I next clean the car to remove the polish/wax from the plastic?
The plastic has a slight texture to it.
many thanks.
I posted this on DW and I got two rather od replies...groundnut oil and Peanut butter.Vegetable oil.

Not so odd, I used to use Baby wipes which have oil in , baby oil in itself is good as a restorer also.
I bought some of this Duragloss to try but not done so yet.

It just seemed off that I would use peanut butter on a car to remove polish from plastic trims.

the peanut butter thing is the fact that it will work like a mild abrasive , but basically get an APC (all purpose cleaner) and a tooth brush , should come off .
as for the duragloss get the 111clearcoat polish you wont be disapointed great stuff , plus if it gets on the trim it wipes straight off, fantastic sealant , plus you wont need other products to sort out little mishaps

Thanks for the replies chaps. I tried that wax blaster and it don't/did no work on the old wax on the trims, did on the fresh wax. So I remember reading on DW forum that a rubber works. So I got out my old school soft white rubber (looks like a bar of soap) and rubbed away. Low and behold it work.
