Thumbs up Thumbs Up to Magic Eraser!

Gone is the wax on my black trim pieces. This thing worked great with just a little water.

I truly recommend it's use. That's just my $.02...

I use it in the home, works great. But it seems like it would be a little abrasive for the car's plastic. Is it?

Wal-mart

I got mine at Wal-mart, a few bucks for a 4-pack.

The plastic is already textured and the eraser doesn't harm it all...

Works great!

Anyone got any idea what it is/how it works? We SWEAR by them here at my house. But the only thing my wife and I can come up with on the how/what question is that it's very simple:

It's FM Technology.

Not Frequency Modulation



But ...




******* MAGIC!

OMFreakingG I'VE SCOURED THE EARTH TRYING TO LOOK FOR SOMETHING THAT WOULD CLEAN WAX RESIDUE FROM BLACK PLASTIC TRIM (tried alcohol, dish soap, simple green, and about to try brake disc cleaner!)!!!
I'm buying a bar tomorrow, if this works then........................... this board is worth time billion times RX Tuner pays for their ads :D
THANKS A BUNCH VooDoo!!!!

I'm worried about that too...the material is almost like a sandpaper...BEWARE

I used Meguiars, and a few others...and for ***** and gigles tried Mother's trim protectant (the one for external pieces)...DAMN it works great...plus it stays blacker/brighter cleaner longer! Oh and it gets rid of the wax left over from my NXT application

Thumbs up

I read that WD-40 will also do the job.
I tried it.
It works just fine.

The Magic Eraser isn't abrasive at all - I think it's really just some Mr. Clean bonded to a foam of some kind that breaks down as you use it.

I have used one around the house and it works WONDERS.

BTW, the old-school trick for removing wax on black trim is peanut butter. Yes, peanut butter. Works quite well, actually.
