Mothers wax makes a product called " Back To Black " that is made for this purpose. I never used it but it is supposed to work really well. Good Luck !

NXT is an absolute BEAR to remove from trim. You need to try a dedicated trim cleaner like Meguiar's #39 or GR-40.

People will say peanut butter, but IMO, it's only a temporary fix.

yes, I use Back to Black,works great for me.

Also I've been told but have not tried myself:
  • Meguiar's #39 (Heavy Duty Vinyl Cleaner)
  • have noted the peanut butter idea on many bulletin boards -- rub on, leave on for 1 minute, wipe off. Apparently the peanut oil acts as the solvent.
  • I've also used Meguiar's quick detailer spray, with a detailing brush -- works very well.
  • also, you might look into 3M "general purpose adhesive cleaner, # 08987" --it's safe for paints, made to remove grease, wax, tar and all forms of evil.

Yes back to black can be found at Wal-Mart and all auto stores.
Not only will it remove the wax but it will leave the trim looking better than new.
Fast and easy to use.

Default In this case Zaino is easier to remove but with more steps involved.

Default So after using the #39 for the cleaning you put on the #40?
