THat's a good question. I can't remember how I did it last year. I was trying to remember what it was I used last year when I last washed my truck.

next time invest in some 3m auto tape and tape off around the mirrors and handles. that way if you over wax you are covered. but usually warm water will remove it. if not spray a little wd 40 on a rag and dab at it.

you dont have to tape off your handles guys, you just need to know what products to use..."back to black" is a great product for restoring your black plastic "back to black" whether its faded or has wax in it....dont worry about getting it on your paint, but if you do, just get a microfiber cloth and rub untill the streak is gone....dont be afraid to be generous with this stuff and rub it in if need be.

as for the wd40, idk if it will take it out or not but its a shot if you have it layin around and want to try it first before headin to autozone or walmart for back to black (btw, its made by mothers)....but dont worry about gettin wd40 on your paint aswell as it is clear coat safe actually

I've never used that stuff but I will say I'm a fan of the Stoner products now. Picked up a spray bottle of invisible glass awhile back, I don't think I'm using anything else on my windows from now on.

I just ordered the Invisible Glass because I hate to clean glass because of the crap results so this stuff sound like it may be the trick. I received my Zaino Clay Bars and lubricant. I'm trying like hell to keep her nice but I-95 won play nice with her.
