I used Meguier's Tech Wax 2.0 and it stained my plastic trim white.. Now using Mother's Back to Black as a temp solution as I use the remaining wax.

I read months ago on Fitfreak where there is something simple (peanut butter??) that easily removes wax from trim. Can anyone confirm what this stuff is? Thanks.

LOL, But once the rodents have eaten all of your delectable wire insulation (another thread), it doesn't matter all that much! Knocking on wood, not having had that problem.

Hmm, I use some Meguiars stuff in a spray bottle. Works fine.

With modern products, you'd have to be developmentally challenged to screw it up. And I sincerely understand with this being America, there's more than enough of that to go around.

Works great on the Harley, too.

Ditto... I used this wax on my VW last year..and it still beads like it did the day I applied it. With no white residue anywhere...pretty amazing product for the price.
