Removing old wax, polish, or compound
from textured moldings

       Many of the newer cars, pick-up trucks, and sport utility vehicles, have textured plastic or vinyl moldings running along the sides, as bumper strips, or in the form of fender flares. It is difficult to prevent from getting polish or wax on these moldings, and even more difficult to remove those materials once they’ve dried. Many people inherit this problem when they purchase a used vehicle, and then struggle to remove the white or gray stains, usually without anything more than a temporary fix, as they watch the stain slowly come back.

       Here is an easy way to remove those stubborn stains: RACE GLAZE^® Trim & Leather Renewer. Apply the Trim Renewer to a terry cloth polish applicator (or any piece of terry cloth), and scrub the stain. Make sure the Trim Renewer gets into the stain - its better to use a little extra.

       For stubborn/old stains, we’ve found the best way to get the stains out, is to scrub the molding or flare with Trim Renewer using a stiff nylon bristle brush (like our "foam pad cleaner brush"). Scrub with the brush, and simply remove the excess Trim Renewer with a cloth or towel. If in the process, you happen to get any Trim Renewer on the paint, chrome, or glass, use a dampened cloth to remove it. In one step you will have removed the stain, dressed the molding or flare to look much better (like new), and protected it from the UV rays that can dry out rubber, plastic, vinyl, and leather. This product is great on all of those surfaces. It is also anti-static, so it won’t attract dust like many other products.
