Crevice residue
How do you all deal with residue from waxing/polishing that gets on plastic/rubber parts (such as around sunroof/headlights) and in crevices?

It's too bad you have to deal with that issue in the first place. You might want to ty Klasse products as this is not a problem at all. However, answering your question... try peanut butter. I swear it works. Must be the oils.
Hope this helps.

So when you apply the Klasse and it gets in a crevice, like along the horizontal moldings along the doors and side body panels, and it dries, it doesn't leave a white residue?

well if getting it on the trim is a problem, you should probably try to tape off the corners before applying wax. and yes, peanut butter is good at removing excess wax from trim. but it must be the regular creamy peanut butter. if you don't have that and have some peanut oil laying around, then use that. apply onto a microfiber towel and spread evenly and work it in. let it sit for 15 minutes then remove with a good wash. dont' leave the product on as bugs will attract to it. good luck removing it!!

Use Groit’s or Eastwoods Dried-on Wax Remover. These products are specially formulated to dissolve dried wax so you can easily wipe it away. Easy to use dispenser keeps the remover solution where you want it. Safe for vehicle finishes on plastic or rubber.
