When you buy a car, one of the first things you probably do is take it to the dealership and have the trim work done. The trim is the decorative bits on the car that sit above the door handles and around the window frames. Unfortunately, waxing your car can be a hassle—not to mention it can be really difficult to remove wax without damaging your car. In this blog post, we will teach you how to remove wax from vinyl car trim without damaging your paint job or leaving residues behind.
What You’ll Need
If you’re looking to remove wax from your vinyl car trim, there are a few things you’ll need. First and foremost is some type of wax remover. This can be a liquid or a paste, and will need to be applied to the area where the wax is present. Once the wax remover has been applied, use a cloth or a piece of paper towel to work it into the trim. You’ll want to apply pressure while rubbing the remover around the trim in order to loosen and remove the wax. If the wax is stubborn, you may need to use a cleaner such as acetone or Murphy’s Oil Soap in order to get it off. After removing all of the wax, rinse off any residue with water.

Tips for Removing Wax From Car Trim
Wax can be difficult to remove from car trim, but there are a few tips that will help. Start by using a cleaner that is specifically designed for wax removal.

Be sure to test the product on a small area first before spraying it all over the trim.
Conclusion
Wax can be a pain to remove from vinyl car trim, but with the right techniques it’s easy to get the job done. Start by using a warm, soapy water and gentle washing agent like Dawn or diluted Windex. Be sure to rinse off the wax well before applying any automotive polish or sealant; too much polishing will strip away the finish. If needed, use a cloth-dampened chamois leather to buff out any stubborn wax residue.
