I dont know allot about cars except the ones I currently have and work on myself however... wax now that I do know most things like "tar remover" will damage the surface try baby oil it will soften the wax with out hurting the surface then to remove any excess oil damp rag with diluted dishsoap wipe clean with dry rag your set to go!!!!

Answer 3

Creamy peanut butter has the fatty acids and oil needed to soften the wax on the plastic. Rub a little on wait a minute and then wash off with soap and water.

Answer 4

i'm with ya in this,it extremely makes me mad for somebody to wax my vehicle and get wax on each and every of the places you suggested.First you may get some heat water and pour some amonia in it in all risk a cup to a gallon of water I never degree it,then take wash textile and soak it in it and wipe it genuine off. And for the guards on the backside of the windshield I do have self belief you're conversing of I even have basically continually took my time doing those ,I basically take a dry terry textile and basically roll it as much as on the topic of the size of a pencil and basically run it up and down in them and if I even have problems with it I have been given a ruler or a backyard stick and wrap the textile around it and that works great. Then after i ended the job I made a visit to the detailer and suggested all this to the chief ,just to enable them to understand how i've got self belief and attempt to no longer do different customer's this way..,,,,,,,,

Most parts stores carry a wax remover product made for this purpose or try vinegar and water 50/50 mix and rinse well when done. Vinegar is acidic and should cut the wax.

Try soraying it with WD 40 or spray wd on a rag and wipe the spot,then take a dry clean rag and wipe the wd off
