wax on trim

[Amkeer]

Use a quality sealant or polish that doesn't stain rubber like Klasse.

Soak some Olive Oil on a cotton ball. Takes wax right off and leaves zero residue. Works like a champ.

The problem is, many of these products just hide the wax underneath a nice shine. I have tried many products, including BtoB and none of them worked except for the 3M product listed above. This is on the dreaded Focus black trim...however, I will try a few of the tricks described in this thread.

Try a simple eraser...yes, a pencil eraser.

The 3M wax remover is about as good as it gets if you really want to fix the problem instead of hide it.

Once you get it clean, a good protectant like Aerospace 303 will protect it and make it look black without building up a layer of crud again.

Toothpaste combined with a hard toothbrush worked the best.

Pledge ultrashine got rid of my wax spots and put a nice shine to it AND it repels dust.

I had some wax on the black plastic trim around the windshield. I just used GM Glass Cleaner to clean the windshield and got some on the trim -- cleaned the wax right off the trim.
