How to remove wax from black plastic?

Could someone tell me a great way to remove dried wax from the black plastic parts of our cars? ...and where to get it?
I just can't get it off, and am just not familiar enough with the products to know what to use! Thanks for any help!

(I use NXT by the way, thanks!)

Okay, okay, thanks markd...my fault totally, I didn't search hard enough.
Thanks for all the links!

Thanks as well Brice, and MDRX8 (although Brice is pulling my leg, I'm sure)

Actually, I'm not sure if Brice is joking. People have tried some weird stuff to get wax off the black trim--everything from peanut butter to certain low-grade acids. So who knows, he might actually have something there.

As for me, I just use that clear liquid stuff that you spray on tires. Works well. Others will recommend Mother's Back-to-Black

Those all work, and I personally use the Mr Clean Dry Eraser. The mothers back to black seems to only cover it though and will show again after a few rains/washings.

No, I wasn't joking, try a pencil eraser it has worked for me in the past, also I have heard of peanut butter working, but never wanted to try that figured it would make a mess.
