How to Removing Wax

[Jbirk]

Hi,

How can I remove wax residue on trim, and how can I remove it from the windshild washer nozels?

#39 will be a good start for the trim. Then dress it afterwards.

For the wiper nozzles, A toothpick would be ok, or some #39 anyway. Just be sure to dry it out good before spraying your car.

And you might need a soft toothbrush.

I can tell you what I just did that worked really well...I took a Meguiars All Purpose Cleaning Wipe , squeezed it against the washer nozzle till it was saturated with APC (this way I didn't risk spraying it all over the hood....I let it sit a minute or so and then took a detail brush (old toothbrush would be fine....but doesn't your car deserve a new toothbrush ? ) and just jiggled it around to loosen up the wax and then re wiped with the APC wipe...worked like a charm !!! Get yourself some wipes...they come in handy in all sorts of situations....good luck !!

I got it out thanks.

I used a tooth pick, which partially worked.

I used a pin to unplug the nozzel.

Then I popped the hood and disconnected the sprayer tube and connected it to a can of zero reside contact cleaner. http://www.mgchemicals.com/products/409b.html

I sprayed it into a terry towel to avoid getting it every where. Eventually it sprayed clear, so I connnected it to a bottle with a top on it and squeezed some water thorugh to rinse the line.

Thanks

When done, I had to quick detail the hood and re-wax it and also clean my front windshield, but my problem was solved.

Thanks again
