I haven't seen any thread here concerning the wax residue removal off of textured panels and the edges of clear bra's.

I have that problem and i have tried almost everything and i just cant get the white residue off the edges of the clear bra.

I also have that problem on my wife's Jeep Compass the divider between the windows, is texture black and so are the roof rails.

Its really annoying. I hate to dye it just for that.

Anyone that has had this problem and has solved it, please reply or post a solution.

Happy 4th of July

Thanx In Advance

I've had pretty good luck using alcohol. After cleaning, I coat with Mother's Back to Black to restore that nice black satin finish.:D

What about body cladding that is not black?? My grand daughter has a black jeep with greyish cladding that she wants me to shape up. Just an allpurpose cleaner and use a polish? It looks pretty rough? Ha!

Poorboys trim restore will take care of both black and greyish (or any other color).

Nope Alcohol did not help:w00t:

Maybe i should take that clear bra off, its outlined in white on a black vehicle <SLAPPING FOREHEAD>
 
Ok... time to step it up a notch.

Tarminator or 3M "Adhesive, Tar and Wax Remover". Both available at Wal-Mart.

For porous trim you can use either of these products with an old toothbrush. Sometimes you can get disposable electric toothbrushes on sale for $1.99-2.99. They work great on trim.:)

Vinyl Trim Renovation

This is one of only a few products that have actually worked / lasted for any time on faded vinyl and rubber. They have to be the most difficult to restore; they resist most restoration attempts as most products either wash away or fade. Vinyl moulding on modern cars and SUVs that present the ultimate challenge, re-dying can be both time consuming and expensive.

To renovate and to accomplish long lasting renovation repairs on ultra violet (UV) faded, scuffed, or scratched black exterior trim, moulding, mirror covers, door handles, etc. without replacement or repainting This system is long lasting and can be applied without the use of specialized tools, these products are not dressings that will wash off after a short period but rather is an actual dye that can last from 6 - 12 months.

Vinyl is only semi- porous, since it cannot readily absorb a dressing or protection; the products remain vulnerable to the elements. Water- based polymer products however, form a molecular bond and provide a longer lasting matte finish, similar to the OEM. Solvent-based dressings have more shine; they will permeate the surface due to its solvent content, but can be removed with detergents and pressure washers. Vinyl and rubber restoration products contain dyes that can stain the paint surface, so they should be removed before they are allowed to dry.

Trim-A-Shield - a water-based acrylic polymer formula that forms a molecular bond to vinyl and textured plastic, when dry, it forms a tough, resilient coating that remains flexible. When it cross-links (polymerizes) it forms a very dense, smooth surface that is air tight and water proof. It also resists common environmental hazards such as UV damage, dirt, grease and oil, the space between the surface and the coating is eliminated. Trim-A-Shield kit; contains GR-40 Trim Cleaner and Trim Dye (black or clear) ? TOTL
