    Question One for the Cleaning Guru's

    Has anyone got a simple way of removing the white wax residue from plastic and rubber trims??
    Waxed the car the other weekend and thought I had been extra careful not to get any wax on the trims but obviously not careful enough!!

    Cheers,
    bob

    One thing I have done, is to use an old soft toothbrush, and dip it into ArmourAll.

    It should get rid of the wax, and leave your rubber bits nice & shiny too...

    Similar to Basil but I use a paint brush - it's a bit softer than a toothbrush.
    (A nice clean one, not the one with dried up paint). I dont think you'll need for heat for car wax. If you do, perhaps a hairdryer.

    (OMG, I hope dobbo doesn't see this thread!!)

    try it, leave a bit of brown paper on your bonnett in the sun. using a hair dryer may burn an iron you can just tuch i, 2 seconds and its done

    Now we argue over hairdryers I will have to leave now.
