best way to remove wax in rubber/trim?
the fricken dealership monkeys waxed my car, and got wax all over the splash guards, all in the window trim, and all around the chrome trim...

Tell me there is a way to fix this?

You might laugh, but Peanut Butter works wonders.... I kid you not. I never believed it, but then I tried it and for me it worked wonders.

I've also heard that you can use a large eraser to get it off.

Never tried it myself, though.

Soft bristle used toothbrush. You don't even need water. Works wonders on the interior small cracks too. Standard detailing tool.
