Product Description:

Leave“trim crust” in the dust!

BLACKFIREWax Remover was developed as an expert-level solution to the common detailing aliment that many have faced in the past. The dried, crusty residue left on your trim when wax or other products find their way onto those surfaces. The cleaning agents in BLACKFIRE Wax Remover are specifically geared to target and break-up the unique components of waxes and polishes in a quick and efficient manner. More than that though, because BLACKFIRE Wax Remover targets the wax and polish specifically, it will not harm or tarnish any surface that you apply it to. With a simple spray and wipe application process, BLACKFIREWax Remover could not be any easier to use!
Waxes and polishes are a corner-stone of the detailing practice. They are a necessary tool to achieve the amazing gloss and shine for which every detailer strives. However, these products are usually designed to work on only one surface of your vehicle. Your paint. These product swill tend to leave a very noticeable and irritating “crusty”residue on any porous surface (like your plastic and rubber trim)that they happen to land on. And, thanks to the fact that waxes,polishes, and other products very rarely stay in their own lane, this“trim crust” is a very common problem for most detailers.

Once this residue crops up on your trim, you will quickly learn that isnot just as easy as wiping it off. This is where BLACKFIRE Wax Remover comes in. BLACKFIRE Wax Remover was designed using specialized cleaner agents that target the molecules of which waxes and polishes are comprised. These cleaner agents will quickly break-up the wax or polish that is resting on the surface, making it as easy as a wipe to effectively remove them!
While there are other cleaners that are capable of accomplishing such a task, those cleaners are often able to do so with the use of harmful surfactants. These surfactants won’t stop at the wax and polish particles though, they will also cause some severe degradation and corrosion of your trim surface as well! This is why BLACKFIRE Wax Remover was developed without the use of such surfactants. Making BLACKFIRE Wax Remover safe for all types of trim surfaces and allowing you to hone your trim to perfection without destroying it in the process. With BLACKFIRE Wax Remover, you won’t have to worry about spending hours taping off every surface of your car. You can detail with confidence, knowing that BLACKFIRE Wax Remover will be there to keep your trim looking prim!

Directions for Use:

Working out of direct sunlight, spray Wax Remover directly onto the affected area and allow to dwell for approximately 30-45 seconds. Depending on severity of contamination, you can either scrub the surface using a trim brush or wipe away with a microfiber towel. Be sure to apply BLACKFIRE Trim & Tire Protectant when you're done to keep your trim protected!

This is going to be a short review. The photos captured the performance of this product.

I had a clients car that had some white wax residue. Out came the Blackfire Wax Remover to test out.



The directions are straight forward. Spray onto the affected area and let it soak for 30-45 seconds. Agitation may be needed.



Here is an area with some residue.



After soaking and agitation with a brush.



Another area.



Agitated with the brush again.


Finally the last area.



Same process with the brush.




Final thoughts:

The Blackfire Wax Remover worked as described. It did its job in removing the wax residue from the trim. Simple and effective to restore that trim prior to protecting it.

The 32 oz bottle will go a long way. It won’t harm the paint if there is any over spray.

For those looking for a wax or polish trim cleaner, then this gets the job done.

If the Guz says it works, it works.

Nice review, my friend.

Just curious, is there a reason you didn't try it on rubber? My experience is that's the real test of a residue cleaner.

Because there is no rubber trim on this car and these were the only areas that had residue.

There’s rubber trim on the weatherstripping and under the hood too... You could’ve created your own residue for the sake of the review. Lol. J/k

...But honestly that’s what I would’ve done. I would’ve purposely gone over the rubber with some polish that’s notorious for staining trim, and then came back a week later to test the cleaner.

Pick some up and give it a try.

Everything’s easier in hindsight. I didn’t mean to make it sound like I was criticizing your review because I wasn’t.. It was just something that came to mind after reading ducksfans’ post.
