Removing wax from black plastic?
To the detailers out there, just wondering if theres any product they'd recommend to remove wax from black plastic pieces?
I did a rush job waxing before the winter last year and didn't do a very thorough job removing wax from my fog light housing and now I'm having a hard time removing it.
Any solvents perhaps??
THX in advance.

To be honest, I'm not entirely sure. I've never done it, but it does make sense, somewhat. I would gob a decent amount to the area, let it sit for a minute and let the oils absorb, then wipe it off. I would wash the car after, as well. I asked a detailer, and that's what they told me: Peanut butter

. Tasty, and effective at removing wax on plastic trim.

yes you can use peanut butter, i reccomend Adams 100% natural in smooth.
Natural: its the oils in the peanut butter thats doing the work, dont use Jif or that sugar crap.
Smooth: easier to take off and less likely to harm the materials if you use too much as the chunks of peanuts will become medium to scratch.
You know, or (GASP) you try this kinds of stuff....

Ive used approximately 3 bottles worth of this stuff over the past ~4 years and it works very well and wont harm or dry plastics. Also it can get on paint without damage.
