Great tip. My wife recently saw me wash and wax my car, and decided to do the same for her new car. I came home to find she waxed all the black trim! Seeing it has been eating at me for weeks - but the eraser worked great and it's back to looking nice! Thanks!
At my last service they did an industrial fall-out treatment, but got some wax on the trim. They've been struggling for 2 months to get it off. Whilst watching this 4m46s video I gave it a thumbs up, subscribed to the channel and cleaned the first wheel arch after searching 2 minutes for an eraser. Best 5 minutes I've spent all year. Thanks Mate, this is amazing
What a fantastic cheap fix. Watched this video a few nights ago after the wife was creating about the wax on her Kia trim. After buying an eraser and hitting the trim, I felt compelled to leave a review. Thanks for the info.
wow talk about a easy fix i can't wait to go to the store tomorrow to buy some erasers i have been dealing with this for 35 years plus in the car business thanks it looks like a good idea nice video
I am so grateful to run into your video. Thought I'd take time out, to give you a shout...Thank you. So stories goes: I had a dumb bimbo said she knows all about detailing and her daddy taught her everything. She went out and "detailed" the paint with wax along with all plastic. I panicked after the job, and didn't know what to do. I tried rubbing alcohol and microfiber rags...didn't work. What gets me most is she said basically she knew it all, and I am left with a haze on all trim. Thanks to this video, I resolved the problem. Couple of Pink Pets is your best bet; for "professional" detailers that think that they know it all. She thought all plastic trim needed wax too; in her professional opinion.
Thanks for the positive feedback. I appreciate it! I’m glad this worked for you. There is always somebody out there that thinks they know everything lol
I didn’t have the big eraser, but I do wood working and I had a rubber gum block… it removed the wax without the need to remove the eraser afterwords. It’s called an abrasive cleaner eraser… basically a chunk of real rubber.
I was dubious, but it worked! I did a quick once around and removed probably 98% of the wax on my Tundra's black plastic trim and it was on every piece of plastic.
Thank you for the video! I have been looking at the white dry wax on my vehicles black trim for months, trying to get rid of it. Then I came across your video. Used a white eraser and it worked great. I really appreciate it. 😊
No problem Lani! It’s funny the same big eraser that we overlooked back in elementary school is still solving problems for us today! Thanks for watching!
@@GarageGear Hi again JB, do you know how to safely clean piano black interior? I use a microfiber towel when the interior of my pilot gets dusty, but not sure if I should use any sort of sprays on it as well. Thanks!
@@lani9779 good question. That type of interior is tough. Using a micro fiber cloth to dust it often is good way to go about it. Using any sprays can usually just lead to finger prints all over it. I’ve even used a damp cloth on first before then follow it with a dry cloth to really clean it. That seemed to work for me.
@@GarageGear oh wow. Wasn’t really expecting that. Talk about pressure. LOL If I had to recommend one, I would probably have to say EXTREME TOP COAT WAX AND SEALANT. 👍
@@BigDaddysGarage okay perfect! I will add this to my list. I have a few more to get to first but will try this one out down the road. Thanks for the suggestion! 👍
Well I’ll be damned. This works perfect. Tried many products. Latest one was McGuire ultimate black which did well for a few rain storms. Thanks so much for this!!
wOw! Thanks so much! My MDX looked *fantastic* after an entire day of detailing . . . except the back bumper-ASHY AF-lol! The pink eraser worked like a charm.
Great eraser trick, thanks for sharing! I was a bit skeptical at first, but we’ve got a few of those erasers around the house, so figured I’d try it… now that front lower black plastic lip on my black ’94 Corvette is finally cleaned up! Thanks!!
This looks like a good method,I am going to have to do this to ALL the plastic on my Jeep as the body shop after repairing it got....wax buffing happy and put it on everything...yeah it looks horrible atm.
Had my new Raptor detailed and they got way all over the plastics. Didn't notice it until about a month later after the trim stuff wore off. Going to try this out.
@@GarageGear That’s incredible. I’ve gotten a few yard sale scores like that - always a great feeling! All good here my man - not a ton of free time with the new family addition, but life is good! I hope all is well out in the falls!
Professional Meguiar's detailer here...the easiest way to remove wax/compound from cracks and plastic trim, is to not get it in/on there in the first place! It's not necessary to buff so close to these areas by machine or by hand. When you've polished and waxed the whole vehicle, apply spray wax to a folded microfiber towel and go over all your trim. Its great for all rubber, vinyl, and plastic trim, and dries clear.
i live in Ireland have 2022 Toyota rav4 waxed first time when it was new just over a year ago been stuck with the wax on trims ever since tried everything including chemical guys, no way would it budge, cost me plenty as well trying to move it, saw your you tube video and thought yea, i think not, yet sure enough after having wax on trims for a year its now gone, had given up thanks a lot.
JB, you might have a touch of OCD 😜 Great tip none the less. I’ve been plagued by errant wax for years and just lived with it. I’ll definitely try this out.
Thanks for the tip! Since I don’t have an air gun, I’ll have to persuade my wife to brush the eraser bits away while I follow her with my leaf blower on full blast.
I had heavy wax buildup from carwashes. Straight Isopropyl Alcohol worked the best, with a dry rag and pressure. The products DO NOT WORK; Chemical Guys, Back to Black, Glass cleaners etc. And I didn't get good results with the eraser. sometimes it made it worse
I had a 2010 Jeep JKU that I bought used. So it was neglected, I had eventually used the White Cleaning Eraser, I don't remember what brand but it will scratcher the clear coat.
Tremendous! I just used half a can of furniture polish on the bonnet graphics of my new to me tuxedo black Raptor. The side panels however are still needing seen to… going to try that. Cheers bud!😎🍻 How did you get your tonneau cover so slick by the way?😎🤓
ROCK ON Jamie! Nothing crazy with the Tonneau cover. Just wash the whole truck once a week. I have used automatic transmission fluid to dress it up once or twice but that only lasts until the first rainstorm. A thin amount goes a long way. Better than armor all. Thanks for watching.
Eraser didn't work on the raptor line paint I have on the bottom half of my truck or the plastic bed liner for me but I simply put a little bit of wd40 on a rag it wiped right off easier than the eraser trick
My truck has a matte red plastic bumper, unbeknownst to be the car wash soap I was using has wax in it, the entire bumper has faded to a whitish pink color. No offense but that eraser would take me forever.. what product could I use to remove that waxy buildup... ?
@GarageGear I tried Chemical Guys, their expensive stuff didn't do a damn thing. Fortunately I found some stuff that worked great, Simple Green and scotch bright pads, $12. Job done..
Hey Marsha, I’d say it’s worth a shot. It works on a variety of black plastics but not on all. Give it a whirl and let me know if it works for you! Thanks for watching!
Sadly this didn’t work for me, tried it on a bike rack with plastic parts and it feels like I’m better off just taking a light scrubbing brush to it. If anyone has any other ideas please let me know
I paid 160 to get my truck waxed and they got wax on every single bit of plastic edge around the paint even the door jambs and bumper plastic and bed rails. They literally ruined my plastics all over the entire truck.
I've been fighting this battle for years. Spent three dollars on a six pack of erasers, worked great thank you so much, dude you rock. 😃
Simple hack that works unbelievable well! You got it Kevin! Thanks for watching! 👍
omg i’m going to my local supermarket tomorrow i can’t wait to try this
Magic erasers work great to sand off a fresh layer before cerakote. Barely had a few overmarks. They remove the eraser left overs embedded too.
Great tip. My wife recently saw me wash and wax my car, and decided to do the same for her new car. I came home to find she waxed all the black trim! Seeing it has been eating at me for weeks - but the eraser worked great and it's back to looking nice! Thanks!

If this worked on Toyota Tacoma bed trim, it will work on most trims 😂... I got some on my Tacoma bed 🤦🏻♀️... I shall try this hack!
