How to remove (clean off) polish and wax residue on unpainted plastic and rubber trims
Forgotten to tape off exterior unpainted plastic and rubber trims? Having a hard time to remove dried wax and polish on it?
Well fret no more as we’ll reveal the most economical way of doing so. (But of course, always remember to tape up next time!!)
Anyway, let’s take a look at the condition,
Well, this has been left on for a couple of months before I decide to document this. Anyway, as you can see polish residue has stained the unpainted plastic trim of this Proton Saga BLM 1.3l
Now, what you’ll need to rectify it is…………..
*Tada!! 20 cent tool called an eraser.
Use it and scrub it like this
And this is what you’ll get!
*the longer the wax or polish residues are left on, the longer it takes to scrub off. Fresh ones comes off very easily
Next, you might want to put some trim dressing on it to make it look brand new. And here what I’d use,
Give it a good shake before using
Pour a drop or two onto a small foam applicator
Give the foam applicator a light squeeze to even out the product
Apply an even coat over the trim (a small drop goes a long way, you wanna apply it as evenly as possible to avoid high low spots which will look unsightly)
And the end results!
Happy detailing!!
