Clean wax off plastic parts??

[Caesar]

Does anyone know a good way to clean wax off of the inner plastic that surrounds the instrument panel?

Just as a shot in the dark you could try WD40

I'm not sure where you are but - in the US there are solvents for such things that usually won't hurt plastics.

Dupont, 3M makes many paint products so look for PrepSol. Its safe on most plastics and is meant to remove oils, grease, wax, silicone, other solvents, etc.
Some form of Bug and Tar remover could be used too. . .

What ever you use, test a hidden area and don't soak it for extended times.

As said, WD40 could get the wax off and it breaks down fast in water/detergent so it would likely be gone after a few washings.

I'm in Atlanta... thanks I just wanna make sure it doesnt hurt the plastics and I've never done this before so I wasn't sure if there was anything special you guys do for your bikes.

Windex works pretty well. I used it to get wax off the "eyebrows" on my bike.

Just try not to get any on the paint. Wont damage it but it will strip the wax.

A clay bar and some detail spray works great, but creamy peanut butter works if you don't have one.

Those pink erasers we all used in school work great too.

The best thing is a super soft brush from a craft store. They have multiple strengths. I always start low and work my way up.
