Wax won't come off!!!

wixcense · 09-25-2003, 10:43 PM

6 months ago I waxed my car, and wax got around the "S-10" and "LS" on the doors. I've washed it numerous times, and the white wax is still there. How do I get it off?

Try a mixture of dawn dishsoap and water and scrub it with a toothbrush.

It may sound funny, but I've heard peanut butter will take it off as well but I've never tried it. If you do, make sure it doesn't touch the paint.

Dish soap will strip the wax from the paint.
Just try to get if off with a tooth brush.

I plan on taking them off, but how? Will it ruin the paintjob?

nope...just use a heat gun, get them badges to where they are real nice and gooey and just pull

well...you should actually use a vinyl tool to lift up an edge and pull back slowly. But if you get the emblem glue hot enuff so that it gets nice and sticky-like it should come off without damaging paint at all. You damage your paint when you dont let the emblem glue get hot enuff and try to rip them off

The LS on the doors will just pull right off.Then a little alcohol to clean off the residue glue

use clay to remove the excess residue left from the wax, you can even use this on the rubber trim ...
