Removing cax wax off black plastic ?

[Ian Raleigh]

I normally wax the wifes car but as my back is killing me so I asked my Son to do it instead,
I'm now wishing I hadn't now! told him to stay clear of the black plastic parts, but oh no
he has to get wax on them and then he buffed up the car and rubbed the wax deeper in
to the black stuff! I've tried a toothbrush with pure washing up liquid to get the wax out
but it still remains there and when the sun beams down the black parts look bloody awful.

Anyone got and good tips in removing the horrible white stuff completely out the plastic ?

Autoglym tar remover. Then use a black polish.

No point unless you remove the problem stuff first.

So WD40 would be a cheaper option in removing the wax?

Used WD40 in the past to get tar off the car & bike!

Richard your mechanic does a brilliant job mate!
