lukeage 0 Posted September 20, 2005 Guys & Girls, I cam across a post a while back where someone had a suggestion on how to clean off wax from the roof and side strips of black plastic. I can't find it anywhere :( Anyone recall the post or could make a suggestion? Ta, Luke Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yandards 0 Posted September 20, 2005 Use a clay bar, it was the only bit of my car that benefitted from the claying but it has made a big difference to my rubbery trim bits Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

benkenobi57 0 Posted September 20, 2005 so you can use the clay bar on the plastic trims? ive noticed that my trims have become very grey with wax residue, so i can use the clay bar directly on the trims with the bottle of stuff ( ive only got my clay bar and havent used it yet) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ronan 0 Posted September 20, 2005 Don't sue back to black. Cheper option than a clay bar is Auto Glym - cant remember which one it is but something like Vinyl and Rubber protector, it gives them a shine, and you can use it on yur dash, and tyres. It doesnt come off like tyre black or back to black. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ronan 0 Posted September 20, 2005 Yeah, should do. Give it a try, I used that, and Auto Glym Tar remover to get rid of the rubstrip glue marks on my mate's Corsa. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

john_wintle 0 Posted September 26, 2005 The answer that you are looking for is smooth peanut butter. Check out the other tread about this. It works and leaves the cleaned areas black and the white deposits don't come back as it removes the wax from the grain of the plastic. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kevin Bacon 5 Posted September 26, 2005 Tesco value peanut butter, or does it have to be Sun Pat? :-) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lukeage 0 Posted September 26, 2005 The best one is the cowgate baby and toddler brand - apply it with a farleys rusk to insure a supple but defined finish. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
