    Wax over the infected area with a carnuba paste and wipe off before it has a chance to dry. Sounds crazy, but it works

    Usually some type of nylon brush used to agitate the trim and some of the products mentioned here to dissolve and loosen the wax residue and then wipe the area with a cloth.

    There's a brand new product out for this by my friend Richard Lin, check it out...

    If the trim has been physically altered, it's going to be hard to do any type of repair to it and make it look original.
