You can also put the wax directly on the part and then immediately wipe it off before it dries. seems to dissolve the stuff that was caked on there and after you wipe off, theres only a slight film. I've been doing this for the last 2 years and it hasn't adversely affected my window trim or side view mirrors. I've been using Meguiars Gold Gloss, but it doesn't seem to be doing the trick for shine anymore, so I might switch to something else.

 

This works but is time comsuming and aggrevating to do.

Jill and I , while preparing her car for shows, tape the trim and close areas, such as mirrors and cowls where they contact the painted surfaces with "quick release painters tape from the local Home Depot, Lowes
Home Improvment store.

Blue or Green colored tape, in a roll like masking tape, however it does not leave a sticky resisdue like plain old masking tape does.

It is worth the effort, especially in the ISCA show circuit.

wow this was an old thread. The real trick here is to keep the trim, window seals etc. well coated with silicon. That way the wax will not stick and wipes right off.

 

Er...I think you mean silCONE. Allow me to demonstrate:
