Wax Residue Remover

Does anyone know of any good products to use to get that white residue from wax off of the black plastic? I managed to get some all over the running boards and a little on the front bumper, but I can't seem to get it off.

Anyone have any recommendations?

I use an old tooth brush coated with back to black to remove wax residue on the black plastic.

No! Although if I would have tried to remove it right away it might have been easier.... I waxed it a week or two ago and it wont come off. Although I did try to remove it a few days after and it wasn't any easier.

Try Turtle Wax "Ice". Don't matter if you get it on the black surfaces!

I haven't tried it on the HHR yet, but a while back did my Mom's Honda with it. Just went right over the black plastic rubber and plastic parts.

Really amazing!!
