Getting Wax on the Black Plastic Parts
Only part on my 4th gen that it has happened was on the plastic between the hood and the windshield. I do however have an 05 Jeep grand cherokee laredo with the black plastic runners on the bottom and I got wax all over them. I have tried scrubbing it out with a brush, armor all, black magic tire wet and it still hasn't come out. Can anyone give me any tips?

Smash car into Brick wall to fling excess wax off
No, OK here's the better path:
#1: Use a wax such as Zaino and this problem goes away, as it doesn't get all over the plastic and dis-color it
#2: If you didn't listen to #1 - shame on you
#2a: Mother's Back To Black
When I used Mother's Wax this is how I solved the issue, and also makes the Black Trim look nice all over again (No Faded Looking dull plastic)
#3: Smile as car once again looks good after waxing / cleaning

Excellent!I got it mostly on my jeep which was a lease. Never had the urge to use Zaino on it which from what I understand, costs a few bucks. I will pick up that mother's Back to black to use for the jeep. As far as the newly purchased GTO, that will probably get some Zaino.
Thanks!

1. all purpose
2. if that doesnt work rubbing alcohol
3. back to black
4. mothers rubber/plastic spray for interior. Works great on exterior plastic too.
The cheaper waxes will leave this junk on your plastics, try p21s, its $40 for 8oz's but worth every penny. Apply two coats 24 hrs apart from one another.

Try all-purpose cleaner like Simple Green or 303, or just get a bottle of wax-remover. They're like $5. Back to Black and the other trim care products will cover up the wax spots, but they won't actually remove them.

this may be hard to believe, but a simple product thats in everyone's cupboard can be used and works very well actually: peanut butter!
it works very well. just be very careful not to get it on the paint. it cleans the white residue off very well and leaves a very clean finish..

peanut butter huh... a radio host back in 1993 once told my mother that acid rain was coming and to keep our dog safe we should put peanut butter on his nose. so needless to say she did and the poor dog went around all day with peanut butter on his nose till the host said it was a joke the next day. which leads me to my point,,, that peanut butter trick is some wierd hoax i wouldt put peanut butter anywhere near a car unless i was enjoying a sandwich while doing powerslides

Instead of busting out the JIF, you can just bust out the oil... I've used cooking oil (peanut oil, canola, olive, etc...) to detail my interior console after cleaning, and it really does work great! You don't need a lot of it, and it's inexpensive. Giv'er!
