Wax on Plastic, How to get it off?

When waxing , I accidently got some wax on the plastic near the wheels? I should have taped it off. Anyway, any ideas how to get it off, since I have white spots from the dry wax ?

Gr-40

hi, new member here.

been detailing for awhile now and this is the best stuff.

GR-40. simple, easy, works the best. wipe on, wipe off, instant black again.

A. There are a couple of threads on this topic. If you search you'll get a long list of suggestions.

B. The latest thing I've tried is Rain-X. It takes the white residue right off. Not really meant for that purpose, but it's not as weird as peanut butter. :smile:

I use peanut oil. It's easier than peanut butter, and I don't get the urge to eat it while I work.

The easiest way to get it off is not put it there in the first place. Choose a wax that doesn't have silicone in it.

Klasse all in one. Gets it out, not just cover up. Then use Klasse to keep your car clean and shiny. No more worries about white trim.
