Dried wax on black trim fix.

[Ronrazz]

I found this idea else where and wanted to share it with everyone.
I got a porter cable DA polisher a while back and it makes it easier to get wax where you dont want to. But I have since gotten better.:)

So I purposely got wax on the front plate holder for an example
An upon drying you are left with a white hard to remove residue.
For the simple fix I used a plain pink block eraser to remove the residue.

Hope this help anyone that needs it. And yes I know the car is dirty but its like 30 degrees out there.

Interesting tip!

Mothers Back-to-Black does the same, plus leaves all the trim a rich black color.

Thats what I used, but the dull white comes back. I guess you just have to keep doing it! :shrug:

I used to use Meguiar's Trim Detailer, which makes it nice and black again. :) But yes, eventually the wax shows again because the trim detailer doesn't actually remove it.
Then Bexcat gave me the greatest tip -- Mr. Clean Magic Eraser! :thumbsup: Works like a charm, "erases" the wax residue completely, and then the trim detailer makes it look black and new again. Just do NOT get the Magic Eraser on your painted surfaces!
I now use the Magic Eraser on my front license plate holder, and the edges of the sail panels.
