As above, was waxing the clio yesterday but when rubbing it on i managed to get it in various spots on the grey plastic trim, sides, front, back and fog surrounds, after numerous coats of back to black and sillicon lubricants its not comming off and my plastics look unbelievably shabby, does anyone know how i can get rid of this?? any help would be great!

Not apparently, fact works on polish stains anyway. Didn't think wax stained plastics tbh :S what you using?

Take them off and colour code them while you're at it.

Just use some panel wipe or brake cleaner

Lol.

WD40 with a microfibre cloth. Needs some elbow grease. Failing that, Linseed oil or a rubber.

However, these are for getting polish stains out, which are harder to get out. Wax should really be a case of a decent warm solution of APC (All Purpose Cleaner) and a decent detailing brush to agitate.

PMSL at Peanut butter! Clear up one bit of mess with another.

Linseed oil does exactly the same but without the extra chunky!

There is a point where plastics are no longer treatable. You're probably past that now!

colour code or wrap with 3m carbon fibre
