I tried Mr. Clean Magic Erasor and it will remove most of the wax.
To remove almost or all of the wax/polish that I had on my work van I used Duragloss #481 Wax Eraser.
I think that I used it along with a soft brush to get into the textured part of the bumpers and trim.
Did a very nice job.
I'm thinking about picking up some of the Rubber & Flat Black Dressing #271 to se if it will make it look like new.
All the Duraglos products sem to be nice.

Peanut Butter is no joke. Someone else recommended the xmt pad cleaner, which I never considered but makes perfect sense:cheers:

APC and a short brissle paint brush works pretty good. Killer, can you use penut butter to remove tar as well? i saw some commercial on TLC about that.

My girlfriend has a Honda Element, and those thigns are 1/4 plastic. She waxed it and got a fair deal of wax on the plastic, used peanut butter and it took it right off.

the oils is peanut butter can do alot ... I do however prefer Poorboys Bug Squash for tar. And yes, I too have found Pinnacles XMT Pad Cleaner to also remove wax residue on trim.

Soon we will discuss toothpaste (paste) as an light abrasive polish for glass.
