Removing dried wax on textured plastic

[BlackReign]

From what i understand, the peanut butter is putting oils back into the plastic so it should last even a little while. Won't be permanent from what I've seen.

It's not. Might last a couple of rains or a couple weeks.

Last night I did 50/50 Iso with a soft toothbrush. It is working but is very very time consuming. I brush it with a tooth brush and then I took a blunt knife and wrapped it in a microfiber cloth to provide force/heat to rub off the remaining stuff. Still have more stuff to clean off. I'll get pics up tonight.

I've never tried this but heard it works. I think it will return after a while though.

That video is where I thought of using vegetable oil to bring back the black texture of the plastic parts on my F150. Found out that vegetable oil removes wax build up easily and I mean easy on the textured parts. Here is from modfords. Just a rag and wipe. Try it you will be surprised.

Here are my [shitty] pictures ...

After two brush downs.

Knife in microfiber cloth to get the hard places

Still need to do a couple more brush downs to get it all off.

Get a Tide stain stick - it will take all that wax off in no time.

What kind of wax did you use!? I would have just started with paint thinner and qtips.

Haven't really bothered with working on it lately, but should lol.

I'll have to try that, there is still a lot left

No idea, I didn't do this. I'll see if I have some paint thinner around, but I'm afraid it will eat into the color of the plastic. I'm thinking about having it hydrodipped gloss black.

Boiled linseed oil works great and will leave a shine for a while too

Tide pen worked well just really time consuming and have to put pressure on the wax to wipe it. Thinking about hydrodipping it gloss black

Don't do that. Buy a new one and I'll take that off your hands free of charge

I'm curious about this here. I absolutely hated the B2B dressing, but an actual cleaner I'd like to try.

Would be curious what it does to the wax on the paint as I'm sure it's going to get on there at some point when you're cleaning the dried wax off trim.
