I have a few spots of wax on my bumper thingy and now I can't get it off, and it looks like crap!
Any help?

 

Rewash it? Just a guess though.
I am not sure if I want that thing on mine when I order it. Is it helpful for anything, or just for looks?



Doc

 

try water and a tooth brush. sounds funny, but it works for me.

 

try a lilttle bit of gas on a tooth brush.
I used to live in Buffalo, NY and at car quest stores they sell a wax called
Collinites No.845 , they have a liquid (1 pint) for $12.26, then they have the pastel type wax for like $25. You can wax your bumpers with that ____, its the best ____ around.
They ship allot of it to germany for the BMW, Porsches. So if ur every in NY look for some of that Collinite's Insulator Wax No. 845

Once i wax my car (camaro Iroc) dont have an xb yet. But once i wax my car with that ill post some pics, it looks unbelievable

 

just peel it off. i did on my wifes xb.

 

no.no.no...............I want to leave the applique on, just get some spilled wax off of it!

 

just use the toothbrush or one of those nail brushes for getting dirt ouuta you fingernails...thos work good too

 

I've tried the brush thing before I started this thread..NO LUCK!

 

I just said screw and if anyone wants to see some cool wax stripes, come see me at the show. I left em on for ya

 

To remove the wax, you could use the tooth brush method or you could use some adhesive/wax remover. The product comes in a spray can like spray paint and the one I have used before is made by 3M. It will not harm your paint.

Hey I have that bumper thing on my new 2005 XB what a waste I wana take mines off to. How did it peal off? was it easy and did it pull the paint off the bumper when you took it off

 

i used something called "trim shine" from autozone on mine...it worked for me =)

 

303, sorta like Amour All and a toothbrush works wonders. also i small dap of GooGone works also.

 

use tire shine.

 

I got the same problem on mine (wax on Aplique thingy) someone suggested a little WD-40 and a toothbrush..personally I havent tried it or anything for that matter (save washing it) but I will pass the suggestion off to you.

 

There is some stuff from Meguires called Back in black or Back to black. It's supposed to clear up black trim. I'm not sure if it actually removes the contaminants or if it just covers them up though. :?

 

Try this Its called WAX BLASTER. It comes in an 8 FL. OZ bottle. U can get it at an body shop supply store. www.urethanesupply.com This stuff really works.
