TedG Posted June 16, 2003 Report Share Posted June 16, 2003 Just a tip, use Zaino and you won't have to worry about removing overspill from rubber/vinyl! One other trick, if the area is not too large, use a toothbrush & Dawn dishwashing liquid. That should take the wax off without messing up a large area. If that doesn't work then you can get a special purpose cleaner like Meguiars #39. And if that's not available use a general purpose cleaner like Simple Green. Don't use anything ultra harsh, like Purple Stuff. Exactly what I was going to say. As a matter of fact you can use Zaino on those parts and it works great. That is if you want them shiney. Then all that is needed is Z6 to maintain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hood is pretty large, either 1/2 of the hood or 1 fender Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shopman1 Posted June 16, 2003 Report Share Posted June 16, 2003 A Dupont product called Prepsol will take wax off. It's used by body shops to clean serfaces prior to sanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EEEK, Stop, Prepsol will soften paint and etch it. I use it all the time to get things ready to paint. Be careful using that stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadowns Posted June 16, 2003 Report Share Posted June 16, 2003 A simple fix to remove wax from plastic is to use Peanut Butter. Any brand will do. Apply to soft cloth and wipe the affected area. Buff to desired gloss. I have been using this for years and NO problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krambo Posted June 16, 2003 Report Share Posted June 16, 2003 A simple fix to remove wax from plastic is to use Peanut Butter. I'd believe it. The oil from the p-nut butter will put the wax back into emulsion and the fine "soft particles" will act as a scrubbing agent. I suggested using a non-polar solvent (water is a polar solvent) which will dissolve the wax. I never thought of trying to place the wax back into emulsion using an oil based solvent. And P-nut butter is most likely the least harsh. GREAT TIP! If this is the case, then re-waxing the surface and wiping before it dries will have the same effect. Anyone want to try it?
