How do I Remove Wax Residue from the windshield seal?

Hey all!

Just go done waxing my car (though that will be taken off next week when the Zaino arrives!), though I'm having one problem, I got wax ohn the top windshield seal (the rubber strip between the windshield and the roof) and I have peanut buttered it twice and the wax is still not coming off! Any methods to do this?

Help! The MINI looks good but this looks like crap!

Mikey

Try Honda spray cleaner and polish. Great stuff.

(available at any Honda motorcycle shop)

There is an alcohol approach to try when the peanut butter doesnt work, but give the peanut butter (or even better, peanut oil) a good while to sit on the problem spot and scrub gently with a soft bristled toothbrush (on the rubber only).

You should be able to find the alcohol approach (and what type of alcohol use) in the "how to remove wax residue" sticky thread that is at the top of this forum (or use this link: http://www.northamericanmotoring.com...ad.php?t=30016)

Good luck!
