Looking for recommendations on removing the residue left from wax that was accidentally applied to non-painted surfaces? For example the black plastic trim around the sunroof between the glass and roof, or the rear bumper inserts for those of us who don't have reflectors.
From my experience, applying rubber and plastic dressing only masks the residue until the dressing is washed away. I want to remove the wax totally.

Their window cleaner wipes are great--they get the windows squeaky clean, and you don't get overspray:

And their lint free towels are also great:
