Taking off the excess wax?

jsb03f · 08-22-2008, 01:44 PM

I used a heavy wax onec a onth and I always get it on the non painted portions of my si, like the unpainted part of the grill and winsheild cowl. What is the best way to get the wax off of these porous surfaces?

hmmm not sure really.

next time use painters tape on those pieces...works perfect and you don't have to worry about the plastic.

This won't help get it off, but I would use it to avoid this issue in the future. Meg. Tech Wax (NX?) is the best I have seen when it comes to overwax. If I get it on my plastics, it is rubbed off easily with a ran and some Armorall. It is also easily removed when you use a detail brush for where the body pieces come together. It advertizes that it doesn't have any wax dust, and they are pretty accurate about it.

3M makes a great wax remover. Safe for paint and plastics. I also have a stiff nylon brush I use on the wiper cowl. Back to Black will help restore the black trim pieces to their original color.

Pea Nut Butter! FTW Jiffy Smooth works well seriously
