I just finished paint cleaning/polishing/waxing my new to me black magic pearl 99 B5. But remembered a problem I ran into with my 98....How do I get wax off the black plastic panels? I know i'm not the only one with this problem. Any recommendations would be great. :thumbup:

you may laugh.....but peanut butter will take the wax off the black lowers......

others will back me on this one.

Mother's Back to Black is a great product, very easy and fast to apply.

Klasse All-in-one and Sealant Glaze is also very good for cleaning and protecting those black plastic parts.

Peanut Butter, then back to black

laquer thinner ( :lol: my cure to all ailments :lol: ) and stuff called "Jiffy Brite" hard to come by but kicks ass.

Least messy and least expensive is use a Pink Pearl Eraser just like you used in school ..

I own a black B5.5 and I also detail a lot of high end black cars and a couple things I do ..

1) Mask off the rough black plastic with blue painters tape. It takes 5 minutes and saves you an hour..

2) Use a polymer not a carnuba .. on black it lasts longer and most polymers don't stain the black plastic. A good new one is Meguiars NXT.

Thanks for your feedback, everyone.


I was thinking about masking it off.....but about 2 hours into the project. Does the glue from the tape leave a residue? Cause however nice switching to a polymer sounds, I just cracked open a tin of Collinite Marque D'Elegance...and I love the results. :thumbup:

And how exactly would one go about using the PB? Even if I don't go that route, curiousity begs the question.

No the blue painters tape doesn't

yep... peanut butter.
It makes your trim look good, and your breath smell bad.
