Removing wax residue from trim
I know everyone has had to deal with this at some point in time. What's the best product to remove wax residue from black plastic trim? I use Mother's Back to Black on rubber trim, and it works well. However, it's not that great at getting dried wax off of textured plastic (e.g. door handles, bedliner, etc.). Are there any products out there that you've used that worked well?

hahahaha peanut butter isn't something i found out myself. the word was passed on to me and it worked for me. when it comes to the textured trim, soft bristled toothbrush is the most important element.

Re: Removing wax residue from trim
You might me SOL. The heat bakes the wax right into the plastic more times than not. The idea is to keep wax far away from areas like that on a car. The cowel (sp?) of my car is the same way, and when I wax my car, I stay clear away from it. You might want to try wax and grease remover with a toothbrush and then wipe it up with a rag. Good luck....
