: Wax on textured fender flares Duramaxdad 03-21-2004, 10:08 AM I recently waxed my truck, being especially careful not ot get any on the plastic textured fenders. Well, no matter how careful I was, I ended up with wax in a few different places. This stuff will not come off the plastic! Anyone have any tips as to how to getthis stuff off of my plastic? Thanks.

Duramaxdad 03-21-2004, 10:41 AM Thanks TC that is thevery product that i was looking at in the store. Was wondering if it was the worth the $$$. Thanks.

Give the brush a try then use Black to Black. Hope this helps. rangervx 03-21-2004, 11:50 AM PEANUT BUTTER...yes believe it or not...it will remove the wax. I've never tried it but have heard from some very reputible sources including John Davis of Motor Week. Can't hurt to try!!! I'm just not sure of the mechanics behind the process. If I remember...I think you leave it on for maybe 10 minutes??????? Like I say...can't hurt and it's free...assuming you have kids!!!!!

Joe I've used it before, and it works like a champ!http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Clap.gif I applied some with an old toothbrush, then wiped with a cloth...Black and clean.

Mac NoWake200 03-21-2004, 05:43 PM Hell!! Peanut Butter, I just learned something new. We do not have any kids but we do love a good PB&J.http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Clap.gif mike634 03-21-2004, 06:14 PM Armor All and a toothbrush work great. BlueOx03 03-21-2004, 06:51 PM Dawn and a coarse brush to remove. 303 to protect it. After the first time I got wax on mine I started applying the 303 first then wax. The 303 keeps the wax off. Works for me... Ox 2K2AD 03-21-2004, 07:31 PM PEANUT BUTTER...yes believe it or not...it will remove the wax.

Being that I have some on my flares, I just have to go give it a try. Dura_Mike 03-21-2004, 10:11 PM WD-40 on a paper towel or a Q-tip. Wipe off excess and your done. http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Big Smile.gif NoWake200 03-22-2004, 10:59 AM Armer All will never touch my truck!!! Sorry I do not mean to piss any one off....you could not give me a life supply free. There are way to many supperior products on the market today. It seems to over time dull out the plastic requiring more and more Amer All to make it look right. IMHO NoWake200 03-22-2004, 11:02 AM I also heard that WD40 makes a good starting fluid...not such a hard combustion. WD40 works great on fresh(key word) oil/tar!http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Clap.gif Majuba Max 03-22-2004, 10:15 PM wd40 works great as a priming fluid a little in the air cleaner will make it start easier did it to ouer desiel gen set after siing for a long time had to prime all the lines then used wd40 started up real fast after that chuntag95 03-22-2004, 10:44 PM I can also agree with the WD-40 as a starting fluid. Always use it to get the mower going the first time of the year. Now, for tar, use Skin so Soft. Yes, I know it sounds strange, but I was working away on some goo with WD-40. My father-in-law pulled some Skin so soft out of his truck, and proceeded to take it off in 1/4 the time. Helps with mosquitos too.http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Clap.gif Frank Blum 03-22-2004, 11:32 PM There are also a lot of good wax products that don't require elbow grease. Later!
