How to get wax off the black plastic trim
 
I bought my MINI used, and the previous owner didn't wax very carefully.
The black plastic trim has some parts that look like they spilled wax on it.
After I wash the car I apply Mothers Back to Black on it and it looks very nice for a week or so... As much as I would love to wash my car every week, I just can't. What have you guys found that removes wax from the trim? Or blackens it for a long time.

Thank you!

Well, even with the thread info above the solution is Black Wow.
The stuff is great.:thumbsup:

Peanut butter works great. No chunks necessary.

BW penetration overnight followed by a wash or mild soapy solution wipe
down the next day works great. :nod:

For me Black wow is the only good solution, I have tried lots.

another vote for black wow.

Yes, black wow works. It still takes elbow grease though. Take a shop towel or any other towel that is really course and put a dab of black wow on the tip. Then begin scrubbing away. Octane guy gave me that tip and it works great.

khd- you build HUGE static electricity that way though... :eek:

so you wash your car right after?

Black WOW!!!

You're done after that.

As I told OctaneGuy last summer at MITM, Black Wow should be named Black Holy S**T. It does an awesome job.

Definitelly Black WOW! I used it 2 months ago and my trim still looks black!
very black!
