vinyl cleaning? i have matte black roof, and i accidentally waxed it with auto glen hd wax now the white residue wont come off, i tried buffing it with a towel no luck tried soap detergent still wont come off many have told me i need to re wrap true? |
If you can pop by my shop, I have some Swissvax Opaque prewax cleaner and I'll try that for you. |
not sure how this well this would work so take it with a grain of salt and do so at your own risk but once when i was waxing my car, i wasn't being careful (and didn't take the time to put painters time on the black vinyl trim) and accidently got wax on the trim in various locations. i did a search online and that led me to a bunch of black trim restorers, and oddly enough, mr clean magic eraser. since i had a magic eraser at home i decided to give it a go. worked like a charm, took all the residue off (left some of it's own residue but that was removed with water and a cloth) so maybe give that a try. again, do so at your own risk |
its never hapend to me |
thought i'd share my experiences that relate a bit more. i washed my car a few days ago and after drying it i noticed there was some wax residue on 2 parts of my car (one is CF wrapped with 3m dinoc, and the other is just a piece of matte black vinyl on my trunk lip to protect it from peoples fingernails) took mr clean magic eraser to both and it's completely gone. i'd say it should work |
KT i wonna specifically thank you for your experience After reading your response i bought mr magic eraser and start working on it 99% is all gone thx a lot i asked a lot of detail expert and even couple vinyl personal even the person that vinyl my car...said its fucked, needed to get it re-wrapped I was planning to re-wrap when the spring time comes thx to KT and mr eraser....saved me the hassel wheeeee, never waxing my matte black again |
haha no problem buddy, just glad i could help. as for waxing your matte black car, they make specific waxes for matte black - but i wouldn't cheap out on it. if you're gonna get a matte black specific wax, get something of high quality. but then again, if it messes up again at least you can fix it as for the last 1% that remains on your car, try to give it another go with the magic eraser then throughly wash the car. the 1% might just be the streaks that the magic eraser leaves - which disappears with a wash |
ya was lazy gave it a quick 10-12 minutes wipe with that eraser will continue to use on my next car wash detail shop told me there is a specific wax, swiss wax which costs 100-200 a bottle. So nah i will pass :whistle: |
Mr. Clean magic eraser is the only thing i've found that cleans my vinyl wrap but be warned dont get it on painted finishes it'll start stripping the paint |
as far as wax goes I use the Meguiars Quick Detailer it's Vinyl Wrap safe and leaves a nice ungreasy shine |

use degreaser. i use it to strip wax off. or stop by lordco and get 303 vinyl cleaner. use a microfiber soaked in water or solution and it should dissapire. make sure to add vinyl protection after. if using degreaser do not let it sit for too long or it will stain. if all fails which it should not, use steam cleaner. takes it off right away |
