So, i was waxing my car the other day and I didn't realize i had gotten wax on the inside part of my sideview mirror. The area that got waxed is a hard black plastic. Not exactly sure what those are called but now whenever i get out of the car i notice it. What's the best way of removing it? I ony tried wiping it with a wet towel with no luck any suggestions before i try soap and water?

 

Sponge, soap and water does not seem like it's too bad of a job to do.

 

if you don't get it off right away it'll be on there for awhile. I've had wax on some of that plastic trim and could never get if off. Now I usually use tape those sections off when I wax. I would like an answer too.

 

Tire shine will cover it up but just like on your tires it will wear off.

 

scrub with soap, then closely and carefully pressure wash it off.

 

50:50 (water:isopropyl alcohol)

 

Crud i didn't notice it until today when i got of my car. So it's been there for 4 days now. I guess i'll try it out tonight or tomorrow night.

 

I had the same thing happen to me. i just used this solvent aerosol cleaner. i forgot exactly what it was called because i did it at work. i had wax all over the part by the wipers. i think it was called Gunk Off. not sure tho, hope this helps

 

wax/grease remover.

 

nail polish remover soaked in cotton *****

 

that's funny.

 

mild soap and water with a soft bristle tooth brush.

 

Tape the black parts off before you wax and then apply Back to Black or Aerospace to the mouldings.

 

back to black should take it right off

 

Thanks i'll drop by the local auto shop tonight and see if they have it.
