    McKees wax remover for plastic

    Tried this today on the plastic around my wipers. It did not work well but in fairness it was Griot's fast correcting cream I needed to remove and not wax. Also tried it on some trim on the tailgate that had wax or sealant that's probably been on there for several years. No luck there either.

    That's no good.

    Have you tried any apc you might have on hand. A soft brush and apc perhaps?

    Re: McKees wax remover for plastic

    Of all the many fine (and generally excellent) products I have purchased from Autogeek, McKees wax remover for plastic was money down a rat hole. It does not work. A friend brought her black Mini convertible over and it had wax stains on the black fender flares here and there. Since I had just bought a bottle of the McKees I figured it would would do the trick. Sorry, no cigar. I put in on and gave is some time to work and then wiped off to find no change. So....google removing dried wax....peanut butter! Went into house for Jif smooth. Put it on with a soft old tooth brush. Wiped off with detail spray and a microfiber. Holy buckets, Batman! Worked perfectly. Wax stains gone. Wax stains still gone. In my garage, I now keep a small plastic cup of peanut butter in a small plastic bag.

    Some have posted that you can use vegetable oil to do the same thing, makes sense, or buy a small bottle of peanut oil. Easier to clean up than peanut butter.

    Anyway, McKees wax remover for plastic gets a ZERO from me.

    Hard to believe that PEANUT BUTTER would remove wax stains on plastic. You aren't the first person to say so.
