Default Removing wax from black plastic trim

Any good products to remove old wax from the textured black plastic door handles and body trim and such? i just don't want to have to keep applying things over and over again, and would like to have it done properly.

The pre wow does a great job removing the residue the black wow returns the gloss and helps keep the residue away

this stuff works well for removal and is also a great alternative to armor all.

Use a paint sealant and there will be no more residue on the trim after it is removed.

Detailer's Pro (DP) has a few good products out for this and many other detailing needs that I personally use and recommend. It's also an American company

Find a product you can use on paint and trim and avoid the headache of trying to buy something else to remove wax residue. There is more than one way to get a shine on your car without using something as problematic as wax.

May sound funny but don't knock it until you try it. Your black lab will thank you.
