Fine vinyl brush, and some APC. Something like a toothbrush usually works for me. Just gently agitate, then wipe clean with an MF.

You will receives tons of answers for this question but here are two that work for me:

1) Duragloss #481 Wax Eraser (http://www.autogeek.net/duragloss-wax-eraser.html) or

2) Paint safe All Purpose Cleaner (APC) such as Optimum Power Clean (http://www.autogeek.net/optimum-power-clean-apc.html) and a toothbrush or similar brush

Then top with a dressing and you're good to go. :)

Gently use an ink eraser,the wedge shape works very well to get into tight areas.

Never tried this, but what do you guys think of clay lubed with a Dawn solution??? Since both Dawn and Clay can remove wax, it just might do the trick.

I would say that the clay would just get stuck on the textured plastic. I don't see that working. But who knows.

try peanut oil on a microfiber. rub thoroughly and follow with an APC to remove the oil.

Use Mothers Back to Black Trim Cleaner, even comes with a brush.

Will that work with wax baked on trim for 2 years,or is this for immediate removal like 2 weeks.

Don't know about 2 years, but wax that has been on for a few months.

I've used invisible glass foam spray for caked on and it removes it without effort. There was a time when it was on a window trim and I had to let it sit for a min before using a mf cloth to rub off.

Go with the Mothers Back To Black Heavy Duty trim cleaner. I used it just today for this situation and it was excellent: 4826548266
Note that this is the CLEANER not the RESTORER. The restorer is a cover up product or for use after you have cleaned it to bring back the black
