How to remove wax residue from black plastic trim?

[Back40]

Is Mother's Back to Black a viable solution or is an all purpose cleaner and brush the way to go? Thanks for your suggestions.

I've had good results with WD-40 and an old soft bristle toothbrush.

I just wipe on black magic plastic and vinyl protector pretty heavy with an old sock. The white [censored] is gone, and the plastic looks great. It is worth putting it on even if you don't have white wax on the black plastic.

Remove excessive white stuff with a pencil eraser and then use BACK-TO-BLACK.

As crazy as it sounds, peanut butter.

So.......do you wipe it off? Let the dog lick it off? Or do you lick it off at night???????????

I think Back2Black will only temporary mask the issue. You'll need to remove the residue first -- by either method mentioned above (mild APC, pink eraser, PB, etc), and then apply your dressing.

Or use something like bondo restore black. It's a black pigmented liquid that actually makes black trim black again. Lasts a long time too. I know I have a bottle of it out in the garage somewhere.
