Wax on plastic trim

I've managed to get wax on the black plastic trim on my 2011 GT. Could someone tell me what to do to get it off?

I've had good luck using those big soft pink pencil erasers. Takes it right off.

+1 to that, it works great. Also get yourself some Mothers Back To Black to put on it after.

Yep, I forgot to mention that. I've used Back to Black for years, but I recently got a bottle of Eagle One Trim Protector Gel and I have to say I'm very impressed with it. So far it seems to hold up much longer than the Back to Black.

+1 on the eraser. Check out autogeek.net and look up BlackWow. I use it on my plastic trim and its amazing!

In the future you may want to tape off your trim or use a sealant that is trim friendly like Meguiars Ultimate Wax (liquid form ONLY). If you opt to tape off your trim, go to your local paint shop and look for the orange core 3M painters tape. It is the least tacky and will leave a minimal amount of residue.
