real quick, coat all trim BEFORE polishing or waxing work every time

Re: getting wax/polish, etc off plastic trim?
I use #39 w/ Meguiar's Triple Duty Detailing brush for all the plastic molding and door handles. The brush doesn't scratch paint and gets into those tight spots really well. I follow-up that with some Meguiar's Trim Detailer in either the spray can or liquid gel form. Awesome stuff!

never used #39 but i do like that #40. cleans everything off and leaves a nice finish. IMHO

Oh, wait, I know.......if the wax residue has been allowed to sit and is stubborn, then go with the #39, but definitely follow up with the #40 to protect. How's that?

It's the same tip/trick for removing/dissolving chewing gum out of carpet or hair.

I've used the All Purpose Cleaner Diluted 4:1 from the Detailier line & that seems to do the work for me. I'll spray it on let it soak in a bit & brush.

I used plastic trim detailer on my 01' jeep grand cherokee and it took off all the white wax residue and left a good finish

Here is another suggestion..... I use Quik Detailer and a soft bristle brush like an old tooth brush, works well. Then apply your protectant.

Get yourself a bottle of #39 Heavy Duty Vinyl Cleaner and apply it vigorously with a terry towel. We've all gotten wax on trim, and you'll do it again sometime in the future. Having a bottle of 39 around is a huge help - the stuff is just awesome.
