Default How to remove wax from the plastic area?

I was waxing my car the other day and I left some wax on the black plastic part and now I cannot get them out! The plastic part is textured so it's hard to rub on it. The wax is light in color and it looks really ugly in daylight, anyone knows how to get them off? TIA

There is some products out there that are dressings for the black trims on cars. You might want to do a seach on the net for these products. I thihnk that 3M makes something like this if I'm not mistaken.

If you are thinking of using alcohol, don't. It make sense because alcohol strips grease, etc. But it will make your black plastic turn white, and that's even more ugly.

Try soap and water with a toothbrush. But I think some form of dressing is the best to cover it up.
