Getting wax off trim

[MA5177]

Now that I know better, I ditched the Nu finish for real stuff.

Now how to I get the white stuff off my trim?

I have had fairly good results by using an all purpose cleaner with a gentle small brush and then applying Meguiar's Ultimate Black. I have not tried the spray can version - just the liquid cream.

I even tried Peanut butter which some have had success with. It would be less pronounced but come back eventually.

Mother's Back to Black trim cleaner with the brush is great for that. Mr. Clean magic erasers help too.

APC and a used toothbrush, rag, or kitchen sponge have all worked well for me. The applicator depends on the surface I'm dealing with.

I've successfully used peanut butter and a toothbrush on black pebble texture trim in the past. It was a bit of an oily mess and I had to follow up with APC, but it did get rid of the white stains.

Mother's B2B and a brush easily took care of some M101 that I got on trim that I carelessly taped off.

Anyone know if that Mothers kit is OTC?

I have gotten Mothers Back to Black at O'Reilly's.

I use an all purpose cleaner (citrus) from Zep straight. I apply to the trim and users soft to medium bristle and lightly agitate the APC with the brush. Once done removing the residue I wash the vehicle and dry. I will use PoorBoys trim restore to keep the trim looking new. A little bit of trim restore goes a long way.
