How to Remove Wax From Plastic On Cars
If you have wax stuck to your car’s plastic surface, there are a few different methods you can try to remove it. You can use a hairdryer on low heat, use a solvent such as acetone or boiling water, or use a clay bar. Here are instructions for each:
Hairdrying Wax Off Cars
If you don’t have access to any of the other methods listed here, you can try using a hairdryer on low heat. Just be sure to move the hair around so that it doesn’t stick to one spot and cause a fire. Hold the dryer about six inches from the wax and turn it on slowly. The heat will break down the wax and help you remove it.
Solvent Methods For Wax Removal
If you do have access to one of the other methods, you can try using a solvent such as acetone or boiling water. Just be sure to test the solution first in an inconspicuous area before doing any damage to your car. Pour enough of the solution onto your cloth (or paper towel if using boiling water) and rub it into the wax until it’s completely dissolved. Then use your fingers or a brush to scrub off the wax
What to Do If Wax Remains
If wax remains on plastic after using a household cleaner, there are several ways to remove it. If the wax is on small areas, you can use a cloth or dishrag dipped in rubbing alcohol to clean the area. For larger areas, use a soft-bristled brush and hot water. Finally, use a scouring pad or bucket filled with cool water and a little soap to wash the area clean.

3. Use an all-purpose cleaner to scrub off any dirt, grease, or wax buildup.
4. Rinse the car thoroughly with water and then dry it off completely with a soft, clean towel.
