Need advice on product....

Okay we have all gotten wax on black trim pieces, what have you guys used to remove this. Years back I got something that was made for this but it didn't work. I'm trying to avoid doing this again.

Help!

The only product that quickly, safely, and effectively removes wax from trim.

Other products if used too aggressively, discolor the trim.

Mirror bases, under the windshield (where wipers connect), and a variety of other places depending on your model/packages.

I tape everything with blue painters tape....just so I can avoid this situation.

Another idea is to avoid waxes/sealants that leave residue.

Groundnut oil does a great job..............

Yeah, some people use pb or vegetable oil. It works if you're in a bind, but it's messy. My advice, stick with a cleaner.
