can any suggest any methods for removing the nasty horrible wax the dealership put on my 5. so my cart is looking amazing ATM with claying and glaze etc and soon to be polished with my new DA
Can any help me remove the nasty white residue from the dealership being heavy handed when applying teh horrible white nasty wax from the black plastics.
So far I’ve tried:
Hair dryer to warm wax and blot with microfibre
scrub with detailing brush and washing up liquid solution (worked quite well but not lifted all of it) also yes washing up liquid shouldn’t be used but I’m desperate here
Interior cleaner
exterior cleaner repeatedly
trim dressing hasn’t made it less noticeable either
so now I’m asking for any methods you guys may have as its around my plastic trims in the grain and on the rubber seals and it drives me crazy. I’m close to getting her near perfect but this is dramatically letting her down.
Hi Ben, peanut butter? I had a similar issue a while back, before I had the car wrapped and this was suggested to me. I cannot guarantee it will work as I used a combination of everything from baby oil, peanut butter, back to black trim stuff, eventually got it sorted. Worth a try though. I now use something called pink sheen from www.spotlesssuplies.co.uk. Off the bay of E, cheap and very effective on the large expanse of vinyl Carbon wrap on my car. No residue when applied. Recommended by Roadie on here, best value stuff I’ve bought!

Cheers Barrie I cant see how that cleaner would be any better than the stuff I use already, The peanut butter one is interesting idea though cant say im over keen on teh idea of putting bird and squirrel attractor on my car but if all else fails who knwo might we worth a try thanks.
The Tar remover I have is very dangerous on plastic trims as its very aggressive can you suggest a product please
Well Gents after the realisation that I had a pencil eraser in my draws here at work I just ran outside to give the eraser method a go. Well it does work. And quite well, although now I need to rinse of all the spent parts of the rubber.
I wasnt very careful as I tried film it for you and see an honest go at it i wasn’t sure it would work. and it makes me think now that it may remove wax where I’ve touched the body work. I’m quite impressed with the results.
I will let you know how I get on with the rest of the car. but the best thing atm work has paid for my solution as I’ve relinquished the eraser until I have completed my car :)
Turtle Wax “Black Chrome” works very well for me. It completely hid a small scratch in the faux carbon fibre interior door trims on my ND as well as removing wax residue from textured/smmoth black bumpers etc.
Turtle Wax “Black Chrome” works for me. It even hid a small scratch on the faux carbon fibre interior door switch panel trim on my ND. It works great at restoring the colour to textured and smooth black plastic trim.
