    Got Meg's black paste wax on plastic around wheel well. Now what?

    I've never used the Meg's Black and was waxing my buddy's BRAND NEW black Mini COOPER. Got some on the trim around the wheel wells. He didn't say anything (the wax-job came out great!) but it is noticeable. How do I fix this?...........the Nailman

    This should do it, I’ve used multiple times with great success and will be using it again this weekend.

    Thanks, guys. I was hoping someone would have a 'McGuyver' fix. I'll try the eraser trick and follow up with some full strength Awesome............the Mailman

    The BF Wax Remover actually does work pretty good.

    Here's the ugly white staining you often see on plastic trim.






    Here's a close-up. Looks like someone tried to get it off at one time but alas, it's really hard to remove this type of residue after it's weathered and aged.








    I think it's only available in a 32 ounce bottle though, that's enough for a lifetime for some people.

    I'd suggest swapping to a product that doesn't leave a white stain on trim. There is pretty much nothing to clean up after waxing.

    Thanks for the suggestions. Much appreciated. Now I have to fess up. I got the Megs black to use on my black Mazda Mx5. Trust me....that car is my 'baby' and there's no way I'll get any of the Megs where it shouldn't be. The Mini I did is my buddy's wife's new car, and she sent me a hand-written note thanking me for making her baby look so 'awesome'. He's bringing the car back this weekend for a follow-up. Everything should be A-OK. Thanks again............the Mailman

    Just finished the pencil eraser trick. WOW!! Fast, easy, and got all of it. Didn't even need the toothbrush, just a quick wipe with diluted Awesome. Thanks, Briarpatch!!.....................the Mailman
