Wax on the trim of my MC

Hey peeps!

Just a quick question, I own a black mini with all the trims around the bumper etc (what your not ment to get wax on) it seems in some places I have got lil bits on it here and there and it has like stained it, I have tried to scratch it off with my nails but dont work and also a good scrub, but that dont work


If peeps are a lil confused to what Im on about I will try and post a pic later on

But what I need to know is how to get it off?

Another rubber user here they work really well at removing polish, if that doesn't work then try a good APC (All Purpose Cleaner)

It might be instructive for readers in the USA to know that in the UK we call pencil erasers rubbers. For you, of course, a rubber is not something you'd use to erase graphite...

Just thought I'd better say that before anyone in the USA embarasses themselves and their MINI!

Peanut Oil if you can find it, works a treat or Peanut Butter if you can't.

Thanks, I figured it wasn't what I was implying it was, just thought I'd check for reactions.
