For the love of god I've been scrubbing at this sh*t since sunday. My idiot friend over applied the wax to the rear bumper and let it dry in the heat. How the hell do I get this sh*t off.

I've tried the chemical brothers wash high concentration no effect.

I've tried dawning the f'ing area no effect.

How do I get this crap off while leaving the damn paint in tact?

 

moist warm microfiber towel?

 

try dawn or a mild polish.

 

Quick detailer and a MF towel with light pressure?
Dawn dish soap with warm water?
Gentle scrubbing with a toothbrush?

 

high speed orbital buffer and rubbing alch?

hell if i know

 

Hammer and chisel

 

Warm moist microfiber....no :/
Dawn....no :/
Toothbrush.....no :/


Jesus this sh*t will not come off the bumper.

 

Where might I pick those up?

 

What the hell?!


Last resort before moving to polish is alcohol as mentioned earlier.

Just go to CVS and pick up a bottle of IPA. You can dilute it with distilled or deionized water. But this usually removes anything on the surface - polishes and waxes.

 

Ya I know. Like I said I've been trying to get this crap off the bumper since Sunday with very little luck at all.

 

Thanks. God I hope this works. I can't believe this sh*t won't come off.

 

also buy some ice, its for your friends eye after you punch it!

 

What kind of wax is it? I can't imagine any wax being that difficult to remove. Why don't you post a picture of the "damage"?

 

Any surface that you "Dawn" needs to be polished then re-waxed. Dish soap is not made for cars.

Agreed.

 

Elbow grease Updates?

 

 

What kind of wax was applied?

Usually, the quick detailer spray that is compatible with that wax will also work to remove it when dried like that.

 

always blame the friend

 

OK this is an easy fix........grab your air chisell and kill that old wax.Really at the worst use dawn dishwhasher and it will take it off.
