Default Back to black problem, need help!!!

Is there a product on the market to clean permanently (i.e., not hide temporary) the car lower black plastic parts from wax residu??

I unsuccessfully try "back to black" from Mothers and Armorall.

Default Try Black Chrome and a tooth brush, also...

buy a carnuba wax (zymol, McGuires). IT'll cost you a little more, but you won't get the residue.

Yes--that's the product to use. Also on sun-bleached black parts.

Default Try Black Again from www.carcareonline.com(link)

Works great on to restore the patina finish on tires and plastic and rubber parts. You should also use a better wax on your car, like a carnuba wax, then you won't have the problem on your black plastic parts. I personally use One Grand Blitz Wax.<ul><li><a href="http://www.carcareonline.com/">Car Care Online</a></li></ul>

I like to use black-colored wax on stuff like that. Turtle wax makes a great product.

I've used Vinylex to remove the white residue stains on exterior black trim.
