Accidentally Waxed the Chrome

Post by DeRail »

Hey guys,

a few months ago, I had given my 760 a good clean, polish, and wax, however I wasn't thinking and accidentally put some of the wax on the chrome trim and the volvo insignia on the back of the car. It now has a really cloudy appearance and was wondering what the best way to clean the residue off and restore the sheen? I read somewhere that a clay bar could possibly do the trick?

Thanks a lot! 8)

Go to any auto paint store (supply shop for auto body repair) and buy a can (smallest I have seen is a quart ~$10) of Wax and Grease Remover. Just pour some on a clean rag and wipe the wax off.
