Here, here!! I've been trying to tell these fine folks how incredible this magic eraser is. Forget about all these WD40, toothbrush and 12 other chemical ideas....get magic eraser. They aren't expensive at all....really!

BTW I don't work for the company that makes them, sells them, or delivers them....I have no interest in them except that they work.

I use Zymol as my regular wax, but had bought some Turtle Wax Express Shine, in a spray bottle, for quick shine-ups. It was highly rated by Consumer Reports and they noted that it can be used on black trim parts. Soooo today I was waxing (with the Zymol) and wanted to clean up some over-wax on the black trim on the rear of the RX8 (where the tail pipes are). I sprayed on the Turtle Wax Express Shine, and then buffed it out with a soft cotton towel. It removed the Zymol over-wax from the trim and gave just a slight shine to the black trim. I also used it on the flat black part that is between the front and rear windows. Works great!

Can anyone tell me of a way to get that wax off of the black molding. I've tried cleaners, armor-all, ect, ect. Anyone know of a good way to get that wax off??

By using Zaino you can apply the wax (polish, actually) to the black plastic parts as well as painted areas, cuts down on that problem of wax on the plastic parts.
