dang... not that i know of, i feel bad for you... though my car needs a new paint... lol
itll cost me over 1k to do all around

spray some brake cleaner on a rag and try wiping it off, thats worked 4 me before, but try a inconspicous spot first to see if it damages anything. also try rubbing alcohol.

I do it all the time. I have countless areas with the wax residue on the weather stripping. I really dont know how you got some on your wipers though... It doesnt bother me much, but im sure there is a way to remove it. I would find it hard to imagine people taping their car off for a wax :lol:

Put WD40 on a rag and start wiping

 

[db8_Joe]

WOW! WD 40 is the $h**! lol! Works wonders

I got it on my wipers/cowl because i was concentrating on my hood oxidization.

[db8_Joe]

yup, im planin on pickin up some. my friend let me use it a couple months ago. i just dont wanna spend anymore money haha! $90 on waxes, supply, etc for detailing. Thats why I posted for a home remedy like wd40 and brake cleaner.

 

[SLV_DB7]

In case you rewax your car you can:

You can clay your car over again, assuming you did that the first time. Then get Meguiars Tech Wax 2.0. You would be hand waxing your car but i can garantee you will like the results. It will maybe take you about an hour or so. I did it to my teg and it looked great, but i need to do it again because its been about a year already. Put a lil pressure while you hand wax and while you wipe the wax off. You would be spending a total of about 40 dollars maybe.

I detail cars for a living and we get wax every ever when buffing. It just happens but we use A LOT of degreaser it works for every thing from in. To ex. And some times even degrease... Lol that works grate but. Its makes me cough a lot. Wd40 shoulde work too
