Howto: Get Wax off Textured Plastic on your Car

I was sloppy when I waxed my car, and ended up with some ugly looking white marks on my door handles.  They’re black textured plastic, so it got down in the grooves and wouldn’t wipe off.  It turns out the solution is incredibly easy - just use an eraser!  Any eraser seems to work, but I had the best luck with a very soft one.

    Wow, I have been stressing about this for a month now. Nothing I tried, seemed to work at all. I tried this on my new Silverado, and sure enough it worked. It was very easy and I never would have thought to try it. Thanks much.

    Just did my whole 2007 colorado with 2 pencils I used about half of each eraser. Worked like a charm, took only 5 minutes. use soft eraser and don’t press too hard, watch out for the metal on your eraser. Thanks for this.

    You can also use peanut butter. I know, I didn’t believe it either so I went out and tried it and now that ugly white residue is gone, and I only used very little. Who’d a thunk it
