How to remove wax from grey bumper

[Jorge Dominguez]

When I wax my ST I cannot avoid to have wax on the grey bumper. When it dries up, it really looks "stained". Do you guys have the same problem and if so, how do you take it off?



Regards, JD.

With a good old fashioned gum eraser. It works great for removing wax from any plastic trim or rubber weather stripping.

Wash it with detergent. Dove for instance. Just don't get any on your paint as it will remove your wax.

The best way is to use peanut butter. Believe it or not it works great. Creamy is better than crunchy but both work. Just spread it over the white wax residue and rub it in for a minute. The oils in the peanut butter break down the wax residue and absorb it. Just be sure to wipe it off with clean rags.

I knew that was coming....

Guys, is all this really serious? Eagle, have you used the peanut butter on your ST? Wwashing, have you used Dove on your ST? Train, have you used an eraser on your ST?

I wipe the peanut butter off with white bread and wash it down with a glass of milk. Works every time.

On a side note does any one else have a problem with ants in their vehicle and how do you get rid of them. LOL

Me, I eat them...



Had to get back at you

I hear that the new Mr. Clean Magic Erasers are good for this too, but I haven't tried it.

I have used the Mr. Clean Magic Erasers and they work very well. Not expensive either. Just a couple of bucks at Wal-Mart.

Mother's Back-To-Black. The stuff is actually white and puts a nice shine on the gray trim as well.

The peanut butter really works! I used it to get some paint overspray off the cladding, worked like a champ.

Yup. I use the eraser all the time. Works great!

>Wwashing, have you used Dove on your ST?



I always use Dove when starting a new waxing program (changing waxes). I have done this foryears. Itmwill remove car wax.

JD, I saw the peanut butter trick on a cable TV car show a few weeks back. Showed it for that very purpose; removing excess wax from a plastic bumper.



I TOO thought it strange the first time I was told to do it.



Made me think back to my Scouting days of the "left-handed smoke shifter".

Sorry it took me a while to respond. But, yes it works wonders. I wasn't adventurous enough to make a sandwich with it or wash it down with milk, but the haze was gone. It does sound wierd but it works wonders. Try it, what's the worst thing you are out of a teaspoon of PB?.

Isopropyl alcohol cuts through wax very well. Peanut butter and erasers also work as do many citrus based products.
