Default Cleaning

Ok what is the best way to get wax off of the Black plastic (bed liner, end caps ect...) I got some now there are white spots, I have washed it several times and even put Mequire's stuff (like armor all) on it.

I know this is stupid but wondering if there is a good easy way to clean it off?

I've heard that as well... haven't tried it yet but I was told to just dab a little on the area, and spread it around... then just wipe it off. It does work... wierd though huh
I wanna know who the hell thought of that one!!!

yuppers, microwave some peanut butter and apply it to the stain with a soft toothbrush
peanut butter's oils dissolve the wax and it's abrasive enough to lift the stain

FYI: pb has also been known to remove tar from car finishes
