I've always used one of those little alcohol wipes, you know, the kind that they give you to clean an area on the truck before you stick something on. Then of course I have to Armor All the whole thing because the wipe leaves a clean spot on the plastic where you use it...

i've used some stuff called Back to Black...it's worked pretty good....sometimes when i've been ambitous, i actually taped the black stuff up once...but that took too long so that was the only time i did that lol

Yup, Mother's Back to Black does a pretty good job if you scrub it in real good with an old toothbrush.

I found that its best to do the black first with the b to b, then wax. The wax does not stick much.

A clay bar will take any wax residue off.
