How to remove wax from black plastic parts . . .
Hey I'm going to be detailing a 2013 or 2014 Rav4. It has that lower black plastic body cladding and fender flares/mouldings on it. Whoever tried to wax it last got wax all over those black plastic parts, like they were doing a circular motion applying wax and overlapped a bit on the plastic.
Anyways, what's the best way to get those white "ghosts" off the plastic and get it looking like new? Car is fairly new so the plastic hasn't faded yet, hoping I can get it looking great again.
Car is black and probably needs a paint correction as well, but I don't have a buffer and since this is a freebie job, I'm not going to spend $$$ on compounds/pads, etc.

Isopropyl alcohol.

the peanut butter thing will work, but it's just hiding things and will reappear
the pink eraser does work, I used that on my RAV4 (ok, I'm the one who got the wax on those parts too)
I finally got tired of seeing the white wax on those parts and googled. Easiest thing to try was the pink eraser as I had one, and surprised that it worked.

I use the pink eraser trick. This is a very useful tool as you can trim it to an edge that will get into the smallest of crevices and remove wax or polish residue with one swipe.

I use Isopropyl alcohol to remove dried wax off plastic and rubber trim. you can get it at any store like fred meyer, rite aid ect... comes in a bottle. I mix it 50/50 with water in a spray bottle. works well as a wax remover to strip wax off paint before correcting also.
