Wax on grille

[ryannel2003]

After careful consideration on my part, I have decided to keep my Camry and not get a Cadillac Seville. So i'm going to get my Camry cleaned up really well. First start with the paint. The bottom oak color is kinda faded and is streaked really badly. I'm gonna get some paint cleaner and get that cleaned up. I do have a question about the grille however. When I waxed the car with the machine at work the other day, I put wax on the grille and now you can see where the wax was. The part where the wax was is darker (almost black) and the rest of the grille is dark grey. What can i do to get it all matched again? Thanks.

eyeball I think that part is irrelevant to the grill, I think he was just giving us background info. Basically the question is, how do i get wax off of areas I wasn't supposed to put wax on? answer is....armor all. Use the interior spray/wipes and it will come off very well.

I guess I did sound kinda like an asshole!! Its early

I was having trouble getting a visual. Grey grille with black spots, from wax! Shouldn't they be white? Anyways a pic would be helpful!

Sorry for such the late reply... been setting up my Mac mini . But I tried spraying the armor all on the grille and it didn't do anything. I guess I can try it again. It's not a big deal but it would be nice to clean it up. Thanks for all the help.

that was my fault, I gave you bad advice. I guess it was a little early for me too but I was under some weird impression that the wax was on some black trim. I mean you made it pretty obvious where the wax was but I'm just an idiot. Sorry!

The wax is on the black trim on my grille.

use detail spray and wipe it off?

[ryannel2003]

I'll try that. Thanks for the suggestions!

If all else fails, try undiluted Simple Green or diluted dish detergent. Try to keep it on the grill because they are degreasers and will remove wax.
