Removing wax residue from clear film edges ???

Any tips to get the white residue from carnauba off the edges ? Currently using a thin micro towel over my finger nail tracing the edge. Is there a better way ?

 

No experience but i would think of preveting it al together by masking/taping the edges

 

Try a brush and detailer with a microfiber rag. Be patient it will take some time. Next time mask it.

 

A soft brush or my preferred tool would be a foam tipped swab soaked in a Quick Detailer.
The Quick Detailer will soften the dried wax and make removal easier. Also, these swabs are fantastic for cleaning hard to reach areas and applying products precisely.

Presoak the build up with p21s total auto wash and then gently agitate with a soft boar's hair brush. Rinse the slurry away.

 

Thanks for all the good suggestions.

 

some of those methods will scratch the paint if you are particular about marring and scratches.... spraying some quick detailer along the edge then follow it with a toothpick but you do need a steady hand as you do not want to slip off the edge.

 

Speed Shine works great for this:

Boars Hair toothbrush with my Wolfgang detailer spray did the trick....no issue with lifting the film edge as the brush is soft....wiped dry with micro towel.

 

Don't get me wrong rockitman, I admire those who do the monthly carnauba thing, but there are some 21st century alternatives.

I do second Mpower4life's solution.

 

A toothbrush. Plastic bristles leave no scratches. Get the softest you can buy.

 

That's what I used and noticed no scratching, however I did order boars hair tooth brushes in soft, medium and hard to try out in the future.

 

Monthly...are you kidding me ? LOL
Only on occasion over paint sealant. Clear protective film edges are a pain.

 

the color of your paint will make a difference. If it's a harder paint like a silver or grey metallic you wont scratch the paint as easily nor be able to see them the same as it is a more forgiving color than say black or red. You will, most definitely marr your paint with those methods. Check your paint under a powerful LED light and you will see what I mean but again there are some more forgiving colors to the eye.
