Default wax residue on plastic
what are you guys using to get the white wax residue off of the plastic parts of your truck? i have tried a few things , mainly soap and some elbow grease but it still comes back.

The only thing that will stop that is to paint all the plastic parts to match your truck.
That does suck though, I hate getting it off, The best thing I've found is the
303 Aerospace proctant. Clich here to find a retailer near you

I've used that also, works great. It doesn't take the wax off just covers it up and makes it disappear.
