Wax problem

TheStray · 07-11-2003, 04:32 PM

I waxed my truck but I got some on the plastic handles and some on the bumber. It looks like hell! Does anyone know how to get it off the plastic parts.

I've used Peanut Butter. i also used a Brillo Pad, but be sure not to get it close to the paint.

I've heard peanut butter works as well.

When it happened to me, I used a mixture of dawn dishsoap and water with an old toothbrush and it took it right off.

lmao at using a brillo pad to "clean" your handles. that would damage the oem texture. i would try the other 2 methods posted above, starting with the dish soap and tooth brush, since its the cheapest. heh, i got small amounts of wax on my rear bumper the first time i waxed my truck, its still there, but it doesn't look that bad and im kinda to lazy to clean it off.

Mix rubbing alcohol and water 50/50 and a cotton cloth takes it right off.
