Wax on plastic and other things
I wax my truck regularly and I have gotten some of the wax on plastic parts like my door handles and the plastic around the mirrors. How can I get this off? It looks like the plastic is faded but as far as I know it's just wax stuck to the plastic. Also about a year ago the wind caught my door and it opened and slammed into the mirror of the Ford next me. It was funny but it left me with a dent in the door and a black scuff or something that will not come off. The dent isn't large and isn't very noticeable so I could care less but the scuff annoys the crap out of me any suggestions? I'll post pics up later today.

Well, I have always had good luck using armor all to clean the wax residue off plastic...
I just tried that Turtle wax ICE liquid polish yesterday, it can be applied to plastics as well... turned out great, and there wasnt one spot on the plastic.

When I get wax on plastic parts like that, i usually take an all purpose cleaner to it, then some Mother's interior cleaner. It'll take a little bit of elbow grease. But it usually comes off after a little bit of scrubbing.
For the scuff, that's just some of the plastic from the mirror left on your truck. Waxing over it won't take the scuff off? Most things like that, I usually have to see them to be able to tell how to take them off.

Works well for debadging, glue, road tar, bugs, etc. too!

ScratchX by Meguiars for the scuff - use a terry cloth for extra removal strength
Peanut butter or vegatable oil for the wax - wipe it on, let sit a couple minutes, wipe off, use a tooth brush for stubborn areas
