Removing white wax film from black ABS plastic
Well I hit my door handles with the buffer a few times the last time I waxed the truck, and the white film left behind is starting to look pretty bad. Any suggestions on cleaners to remove the film? Thanks

I have found it is usually best to use something alcohol based to wash the parts. I have even used straight isophropyl ?spelling? alcohol (like you clean wounds with). After you clean it, use a good black plastic restore struff, should sell it at the local auto parts house.

Get one of the Absorber drying chamois or any chamois, i have the absorber and that one works for me. Get it wet and rub were the wax is. You will have to give it a little pressure when you rub it.

I have worked in the bodyshop business for 8 yrs there is a product called (Black Again) made by Wizard's. They make compounds and polish. It is made just for automotive plastics and will clean and restore your plastic in one step. A small bottle will go a long way. You can find it at your local paint distributor.
