    I use diluted Purple Power and a toothbrush for textured plastic.

    Strong APC solution and a short bristle brush, toothbrush can work. Can also take some IPA (stragith) put some one a MF and just press the area were the pas is and then try to clean it off.
     
  6. Yes it is ^ :p:

    This is like the 3rd time I've seen you give bad info :shead:

    OP...This may sound crazy, but if you will reapply more of the same product to the infected area and wipe it off quickly this will remove your residue :cig:

    The title says removing wax, but your post says buffer polish. If it's wax you want to remove, use mineral oil. It will dissolve the wax without any scrubbing necessary. Use a q-tip if it's in a tight spot.

    The degreaser stuff? You can use it on your clear if you wish. I can no longer hold my tongue with you either. Its one thing to say you disagree its another to be dick about it. Funny thing is you make all these suggestions, but I have not seen your work posted yet. Not once, hmmmm......? I am sure your a top notch detailer, I mean after all your the all knowing Philbert Wormley. Stop being a smartass, you are making me regret ever posting on this forum. Of all the new members you are the only one that has actually stood out to me, and its not because you are posting stunning work. In short, when I say purple power is not paint safe, I am syaing that it can seriously harm your cars finish if used in sunlight or left too long/not flushed properly. My information is NOT incorrect. Your ridiculously annoying retort is what I find incorrect. As for your feeling that I give incorrect information I have decided to fix this. You will see no more responses from me, and I hope to see you answer every single technical question from here on. I mean who else would be able to handle that responsibility but the great Philbert Wormley.

    before polishing or any step, use a silicone/water based dressing and apply with detail brush to plastic surfaces without spraying on paint . This will coat plastics and be easily removed with pressure washing after completing .
