One of my grandsons decided that he was going to help the old man wax his Harley truck. I told him to be careful and I should have watched him closer, but he managed to get wax on quite a bit of the black parts of the bumpers and mud flaps.

I can't get this wax residue off with anything. Any suggestions?

No help. That's for scratches and swirels. I have wax IN and ON parts of the black trim on quite a bit of the truck.

I've tried a ton of things and still have the problem. Really looks pretty bad.

Next.....lol

You still bad. Clay is for paint! The problem is the rubber and plastic pieces on the truck NOT the paint.

What in the hell am I going to do with you? LOL

Now you are cooking. I will order some of this #39 magic and hope it works. Thanks for continuing to search for the solution.

I've used peanut butter to remove sticky labels from jars etc., but never tried that for wax. Hmmmm!
