Meguiars Online Acronyms - Product Links

If you work long enough with the products, you'll get to know most products by their number instead of their product name.

I used Meguiar's purple tire dressing for all plastic parts - works great.

After getting wax on the trim and reading this thread I tried some #40 and "BAM" it was gone and looks better then it did new!

Thanks,

Re: getting wax/polish, etc off plastic trim?

with all honesty, i diddnt think this would work. mike said it would. vegetable oil. im not kidding.

tried the oil at home, and worked like crazy. i went out and bought a huge thing of it for like 2 bucks at the local grocery. it turned all my faded black trim, to like brand new. i went crazy with it, and did all the rubber in the doors, on the windows, the windshield wipers, etc. you name it, i covered it in vegetable oil. just not componants in the engine bay. i was smart enough to not do those.....yet.

i did remove the excess with a clean cloth. the cloth wasnt 100% terry or anythin special. gave the car a wash afterwards. the rubber still looks like new. looks like i picked up a new trick today.

and to my knowlage, doesnt remove wax. so i got up all the left over wax from my 1st ever wax job. all that wax came off. now all i have to do is really clean the wheel wells, and remove the wheels, to apply this vegetable oil. man its crazy.

Rubbing alcohol works also. I just make sure I protect it right after with trim detailer. Also I have done the dawn dish soap diluted with a small tooth brush. Worked for me.

Question. If peanut butter or vegetable oil is used to clean fabric, how do you then remove the peanut butter or oil once the "stain" is dissolved.

I too would like to know as I am allergic to peanuts.

Re: getting wax/polish, etc off plastic trim?

I could only think to try a regular carpet/fabric cleaner then, like the Quick Out or APC, etc.

As far as cleaning trim if you are allergic, just go with something like #39 or APC with a soft toothbrush, should clean it right up.

Sounds funny and weird but peanut butter or peanut oil is one of the easiest ways to remove wax from plastic or vinyl trim. Put some on a rag and scrub and wipe the area and it will look good as new.

Chunky or creamy ???

Re: getting wax/polish, etc off plastic trim?

creamy, rub it in, let it sit for a few seconds, then wipe down, and wash to make sure you got rid of it

Has anyone tried KRUD CUTTER found at Home Depot in the paint dept. ??
I found this stuff disolves the wax residue and after wiping off the wax I tape off the plastic and re-apply NXT 2 and then #26 Yellow wax NO MO SMEARS

Re: getting wax/polish, etc off plastic trim?

#40, a terry towel, and a little bit of "oomph" seems to do the trick for me

are u sure?
