I was not careful and got wax on some of the weatherstripping on the car. Particularly the strip underneath the side windows. My question is, what is the best way to remove it?

One of those prep wipes might get it off for you. They are the things used to clean the body of debris and oils before you paint it. You should be able to find one at your local parts store.

I actually read on this forum or another, don't remember which that peanut butter will remove the wax from weatherstripping!

Sorry it took so long, I didn't get around to going to the auto parts store for a while. Bought the Back-in-Black and its awesome! You guys were right. I now have one more product to swear by :worship: . Does exactly what it says it does. Thanks for the help, my car looks great!

Well, what do yall use to protect the weather stripping. The paint on my old car looks great b/c I waxed every 6 months. But the weather stripping looked like crap. I put some stuff on it you get from the store to help protect it but I think I might had been too late at that point.
thx

I have also used Back to Black, great stuff. Regarding peanut butter to remove gum-are you serious, does it work? I have a post under cleaning tips about getting gum off of a floor mat. Thanks in advance.

If not, I've also been messing around with those new Turtle wax products in the dark green containers. Satisifed so far. I think they have a rubber/vinyl/etc protectant as well
