Detailing Question

[TXSUT]

Anyone have a good remedy for removing wax residue from the plastic parts (i.e., fender flares)? Frickin' careless dumbass at my car wash place...

There's other suggestions here:

I hate getting that stuff on the plastic so I take it to the dealer and let them do it.

Peanut oil works great. Crazy as it sounds, you can actually apply smooth peanut butter to the plastic and then wipe it off and you will see that the plastic will have that orginal look. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

It removes the residue, as opposed to just hiding it until the peanut oil sheen wears off, right?

Thanks everyone!

And yes, thankfully, I have peanut oil left over from the 4 turkeys I fried at Christmas.

Mineral Oil works well too.

Nice, but I like peanut butter. but I Can't imagine smearing on my hummer. I think I'll go a more traditional route....

I have yet to find a cook that can get the flavor right and not boil them so long that they are not to tough. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

The key is taste-testing as you go. You only need to boil the crawfish for 5-8 minutes, then you shut it down and start tasting. Pull 'em out when they are just right. Dumping a bag or two of ice in at shut-down helps reduce the temp quickly, and they start soaking up the seasoning quickly without overcooking. Been doing it that way for 20+ years, and never had an unsatisified "patron." Dear ol' dad, rest his soul, taught me well.

Back on topic, though. The peanut oil/toothbrush worked like a charm!!! But my wife said her teeth felt slippery later that night. Hmmm....

Many thanks to every one, PhilD in particular!!! I'm gonna pass this info on to my carwash owner guy.

Thanks,

Pete

[MUH_HUM]

Nothin' better to do. You've scolded me, so I'll go home now.

I use warm water and a toothbrust, the toothbrush works great

Thanks for the help guys; much appreciated. KenP, thanks for the link, I didn't think to do a search, didn't think it was a common problem.
