The dealer I bought my car from detailed it for Mr before I bought it. Needless to say he used way too much product buffing, now I have white dry wax in my black weather striping and black window seal. I was wondering a easy way to remove these without damaging the plastic?

Also one more thing I see you guys talking about 2 or even 3 step "Show Car" waxing. After I dry my vehicle I hit it with Meguire ultimate wax, using a orbital buffer. What other steps should I try to get a better "Show Car" look after I'm done?

For the dry wax you can use quick detailer, waterless wash or mild APC with a tooth brush, foam paint brushes or qtips.

What is the year make color and model of your vehicle?

The usual full detail process is:

Wash
Clay
Polish
Seal
Wax

With this process you will see better results then just applying Meg's UW.

Nice color. I would give it a dawn bath, then clay bar, then polish, then 2 coats of Meg's UW and you should be good to go.

You can get both Meg's and Mothers clay bar kits locally, both are decent.
