    Got wax on black trim....

    How can I get it off? I did a search so dont be telling me to do one. I heard Black Magic might do it but I was wondering if anyone had any other suggestions.
    Thinking about getting a new 3g...

    There is a wax stripper available at autozone. Apply carefully to the problem area.

    Use tire spray stuff. Spray it on a rag and wipe it on the trim, it'll turn the trim nice and black too.

    Wait, are you asking how to remove some wax that fell on your black trim or how to make the trim glossy? If the latter is the issue and you don't have much money, use Pledge furniture polish.

    should just wipe off. I get it on mine sometimes, and it comes right off with soap.

    Man. Any cleaner and a sturdy towel will get it off. You just need to scrub a little bit. When waxing, I wax over my side pannels because it's so much more easier than trying to avoid them. The tire cleaner does work as well. Don't go by stuff, you have at least 5 products at home that I know will work to get it off.

    That's got to be the cleanest living DX I've ever seen.

    If you need to get wax off of black trim, use tire shine or a plastic treatment of some sort. Should take the white right out.

    You realize how long and tedious that would be?
