you mean the black plastic trim? Does the plastic look faded/white? If so, try some peanut butter. (not chunky or extra nutty)

exactly which part of the trim are you talking about? If dried white wax is becoming stubborn even after scrubbing, then yes, peanut butter should work. but remember, do not use CRUNCHY/CHUNKY/EXTRA NUTTY or anything that contains actual peanuts, haha

Some other forums swear by it, but its probably better to use peanut oil to take off the wax residue on the black trim.

Get the gourmet type....if it doesn't work, you can use it for cooking.
