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.

Products - Serious Performance

Tim also does the wax blaster...

Wax Blaster - Wax Remover

 

Thanks for that.

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

 

Eat the peanut butter, wouldn't rub that on my car. I read it as peanut oil as well as the ground nut sorry.

Never tried it but white vinegar gets wax out of microfibre in the wash, don't see why if used carefully you couldn't do the same ?

 

Peanut butter

I will try these kitchen products at the week end.

 

A guy mentioned on DW that a rubber/eraser works. It does, but the only rubber that I had would not get into the tighter gaps. So I have ordered Wax blaster, plus a few other items

 

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

 

R222 Total Auto Wash, applied neat and scrubbed gently but persistantly with the shortest yellow bristles on a Meguiars Triple Duty Detail Brush. Does the trick every time for us.

 

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.
