Default How to remove wax from black plastic parts

First of all: Happy New Year!!!

After reading some posts on waxing, here's my small contribution: the best
way I know to remove wax from black plastic parts is to scrub them with a
toothbrush with pure car shampoo.

This has to be done very carefully not to spoil the waxing of the metal!

Then I clean them with a damp cotton cloth, and finally I use a
non-silicon Autoglym product for exterior plastics - "Bumber Care".

If anyone has a better way, please share!

I use Mother's Back to Black. It works like a charm. It's fine for colored
plastic/rubber surfaces too, and even anodized metal, like the black B-pillar
trim on the E30.
