You could drive it to Death Valley and when it sits in the sun for a while, it should wipe off.

Worked like a charm Pete, thanks for the quick response. All I had was a soft tooth brush, I am sure it would work better with a stiffer one.(That is what she said)


Thanks everyone, Noob

Works great and makes the plastic look new, use it once a month or so myself. Sometimes you have to do two application where the wax turned the plastic white, but makes it go away.
