I don't think that would remove it, though...

Well what kind of truck is it and how much wax is on it?

I have a 97 half ton chevy. you know the plastic trim that goes around the whole truck. every time i wax my truck wax gets on those trims,
so i walk around the whole truck with tire shiner and a brush and wipe it on,
get the wax off and looks very shiny after.

I used Blue Magic Headlight Polish on the rear bumper trim and it worked great......trim around windshield and door handles will need something different

It's a lot different when you remove immediately. It tends to come off the way you'e describing it, but if it's been caked on for a while, it would have to be cleaned off via other methods than a tire shine will do, since it will just temporarily mask the area...

Peanut butter ftw. I used that on my cowl and it made it look like I put tire shine on it along with either removing or covering the wax

I had my painter show me one of the big pencil eraser will remove it very quick .

toothbrush and alcohol

almost any strong apc with a bristle brush will work well. the catch is not dripping the apc on the paint o it'll remove the new wax you just applied.

toothbrush and alcohol

Agreed. Also, if your gonna be getting close to the paint with a toothbrush, make sure it's a soft bristle brush.

an eraser works ok but have to rub real hard and it leaves a big mess.....will try peanut butter next.......vinegar does not work
