Not the best, but It works for me......

 

back to black is great. Mine has lasted a few weeks now and even through a wash and wax. Peanut butter, rubbing alcohol also work well to remove the wax buildup. They wont polish or anything tho.

 

I tried peanut butter (organic, crunchy, no oil added) wiped on with a rag and then washed off. It seems to have worked! My trim is now a nice clean black.

 

i took mine off and repainted all of them with bumper and trim paint... and now when i wax the car i take them all off... only takes about 5 minutes

 

Most on SC ...(being from the US) suggest peanut butter...I don't know whether smooth or crunchy !...but I would say use your wifes tooth brush with a dab of white spirit followed with an exterior trim product...

(only kidding about the wifes toothbrush....use your own but give it a good clean afterwards)!!

 

I used Westleys Blech White on mine.You can buy it at Walmart.I just sprayed some on a rag and wiped it down.I also use it on my tires,floor mats,and the mud flaps and plastic fender flares on my pickup.I ecspecially like it on my tires,because it makes them look like brand new and doesn't give them a wet look.

 

use an eraser
a staedtler or however you spell it
its abrasive and removes excess dirt, grime, wax, and any residue
i used this on mine and it worked great
i then used armor all tire shine gel, yes gel
it takes some effort to apply properly but they look great afterwards

 

The Staedtler is hands down the best at removing crap off the black trim.

Back to black just covers it up and the white residue will show up again once the B2B washes off after a few rain sprinkles.

And there is no substitute for the Staedtler... They are the ferrari's of the eraser world.

 

I've used some pvc cleaner available at your local hardware store. Works great, very similar to acetone. Be careful and don't use too much and don't get it on your painted surfaces. Very strong stuff, not for the light hearted. If you use just a paper towel with a small dab of cleaner and rub in one direction once or twice. Don't rub hard, very lightly. Will remove any grease, oil, tar, wax, etc. and restore the orig. black plastic to like new. Since the black trim is unfinished/unpainted it will not remove anything but the contaminants and a small layer of plastic, very minute amount. Also can be used on vinyl siding. Works excellent, and the fumes give you a nice little buzz (jk) Enjoy!

Oh, might want to practice on an inconspicuous area for a test. Make sure it's an area that can't be seen just in case you use too much.

 

I tried the rubbing alcohol wiped on with cotton puffs. So far it looks pretty good. Tomorrow will tell. I hate that wax on the trim!

 

I have used Mr Clean Magic Eraser to get the wax residue off trim with very good results.

 

The alcohol didn't work. Today the trim moldings look worse. I never had this issue before really. Mr. Clean sounds good.
