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!

 

Well if it works I guess... although I am a little skeptical about rubbing peanut butter on my car... any concrete evidence that it will do the trick?

 

I'm pretty sure peanut butter takes gum out of carpet

 

i used some bug a tar remover stuff to get the wax off the tirm of my car, but you have to be careful notto get it on the paint

 

Mother back to black removes wax from the weatherstripping. Does an awesome job.

 

Thanks for the input guys, I'll post the results once I have righted this wrong

 

I've used B to B also. It works very well. It may need a couple applications to fully get the weather stripping back to all black

 

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 use Pledge on everything.

 

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.

 

I think Back-to-Black also is supposed to protect the surfaces as well. So even if you don't need to get it BACK to black and just need to KEEP it black. I assume it will do the trick?

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
