i waxed my car the other day and didn't notice i got it on a few pieces of the rubber trim and mainly on the black piece that houses the rear back up detectors. I was wondering if anyone knew an effective way of getting that off. Thanks!

 

ive heard of people using wd40 sprayed on a mf towel and using a magic eraser as well as goo gone. try one of these products but use with caution cause ive never tried. might even try using a toothbrush...

 

Hey, I have moved your thread off to the Detailing Forums so that you can get more answers and help by tech guys

 

Thanks! I guess I was a little too tired to think of that.

 

I don't see how WD40 would work but I'll give it a try. The magic eraser sounds pretty promising though! Thanks for the help.

 

Give this a shot:

Removing Polish and Wax from Rubber Trim – Detailed Image

 

dishwshing soap should get the job done but it might dry it out

 

if you use dishwashing soap it will strip the wax off the paint

 

we're just talking about cleaning the trim though, with like a toothbrush or something

 

Don't laugh but I have heard peanut butter works wonders (smooth, not the chunky kind) ...

 

I have been detailing cars for 16 years the best thing to use a white piece of scotch brite very fine and make sure you tape off around your molding so you don't scuff the paint.Make sure you rub very lightly.And then just use trim re-newer to lubricate the molding.

 

This is all great. Thanks guys. I'll let you know what I used ot get it off and how it worked.
