Getting wax off door molding
 
Waxed my truck last weekend and got wax on the black door molding. The wax turned the molding a light color. Anybody know how to get this stuff off?

check out www.perforamncetruck.com and/or www.hotrod.com (I'm not too sure of that last one). Anyways they sell this product that take left over old wax off of everything.

EDIT: Well this more of an update. One of the above sites was wrong. It's www.genuinehotrod.com and the product is Wax Blaster.

All I do is use a little soapy water on the molding and that works for me.After I do that I use Armor All.Hope this helps ya out.Cin

I let it dry and use an old toothbrush and some water. Seems to work great for me. If I can't find an old toothbrush, I just use the wife's...:o

go to the auto paint store and get some wax and grease remover.

Ok. Thanks all for your tips. I'll try the peanut butter way first. If that doesn't work, I'll try the paint store.

I worked in a paint shop for a while, we used Tolulene as a wax and grease remover, seemed to work great for that and cheaper too. You should be able to buy a quart from a regular paint store.

I sprayed brake cleaner on mine, and wiped it immediately off. That worked well.

I just buff out the wax with a micro-fiber cloth. It works fine for me. For the mirrors, I use Mother's back to black. This works, but you have to you allot and it takes a while to work.

Well it will take gum out of a kids hair.......Might work with wax as well.

Ok. Update. I was out in the garage looking around and decided to try some carb cleaner on the wax. Sprayed some on a rag and buffed it a little. Took it right off. I'll use this from now on.

Thanks for all your replies. Mark
