removing wax from trim

OK, so i have let myself get a little lazy. I have some polish and wax that has dried on the rubber trim of my S4. What is the best product to get this off without hurting the trim.

Use einszett Cockpit Premium and mf towel to clean and then apply zymol Tyre to condition. Works like a charm every time.

The MINI trim is a real pain. It takes a few applications of the einszett cockpit and a few washes later. Then you should condition using a silicone-free conditioner like th zymol Tyre. It's the only thing I've found to truly fix the issue instead of hiding it.

I have found that GR-40 (sold by "Top of the Line") works REALLY well for removing wax and polish build-up on mouldings and plastics. I follow that up with the Ultima Trim and Tire Shield (sold by Autopia) for a beautiful black matte look. I can honestly say my mouldings have never looked so good!
