Removing wax stains from the black plastic trim

[DaveTinNY]

I did a search yet suspect that I'm not the only person with wax stains on their black body trim - around the wheel wells, for example. I have a 2005 MCS HBB/B.

What's your recommendation for a product that will restore the trim back to BLACK but yet will NOT result in long term staining of the trim; i.e., you end up having to put the black "restorer" stuff (like Armor All) on all the time to maintain that nice dark shade. I'd rather not use Armor All - I just want to get rid of the WAX STAINS.

Thanks all,

Dave

PS - I LOVE my MINI! Best car I've ever driven.

hi Peanut oil or Peanut butter (smooth type) works wonders on wax stains

Last time I waxed my car I put masking tape over all the plastic bits. Whilst it was a pain on the whole it did the trick.

I couldnt find any peanut oil in me local asda so I tried an olive + sunflower oil mixture, looks great still black after a couple of weeks.

Try Sonus Tire & Bumper Dressing Gel it is new and reports coming in abou it sound great for the fender trim.
