How to Remove White Wax Stains on Plastic Parts?

Using an eraser works well. Light wax marks can be easily wiped off this way; Melt the solid wax with a hair dryer, then quickly wipe it dry with absorbent materials like tissue paper or cotton cloth; Spray tar cleaner on the white spots, gently scrub with a toothbrush while wiping, then spray dashboard wax after cleaning. Wipe off the dashboard wax once it dries slightly.

I often encounter the issue of wax turning white on plastic parts, which is quite frustrating. It's usually because the ingredients in the wax are incompatible with the plastic and seep into the tiny pores. To solve it, don't rush to scrub hard. First, try gently rubbing the whitened area with an eraser, which works quite well. If that doesn't help, spray some WD-40 on it, wait a minute or two for it to soften, then wipe it off with a soft cloth. The plastic will quickly return to its original color. To prevent this issue next time, cover the plastic parts with masking tape before waxing to avoid wax splashes. For regular car maintenance, use a dedicated plastic protectant to enhance stain resistance. In short, careful operation is key to avoid damaging the interior.
