Wax / Polish Removal From Black Trim - Eraser

[Lambeau]

I searched and couldn't find a thread here using an eraser:
I'm going to apply Wolfgang's Trim Sealant to the black tirm on my wife's Explorer.
It was highly recommended by @NastyGT500 and AutoGeek:

Before I do, I need to clean-up the areas where polish was accidentally applied. As I researched solutions, I came across a youtube video of a guy using these erasers.
For a simple fix, I gave it a try on one of the roof rails and it seems to work just fine...

@NastyGT500 is this the way to go?
Anybody else try this?

Not sure if it leaves some form of residue behind or not. If it did, I could just follow-up with IPA.

I like the Wolfgang products, I just used their deep gloss paint sealant.

I have to try that eraser on my trim.

I don’t like the idea of an eraser due to the potential of it marring the surface.

I use a dedicated wax/polish remover like McKees37’s offering. Let it dwell a bit and then use a mf towel; comes off.

I've read solid reviews on the McKee37's wax/polish trim removal stuff. Something else I read last night that seemed to have a lot of praise was actually using Pledge... Not only to remove wax/polish on the surfaces, but to actually coat the black plastic trim for a nice satin finish that apparently lasts decently.

I’ve heard if guys ‘waxing’ with pledge. I’ll leave that for my furniture!

I ordered the Mckee 37, gonna give it a shot this weekend.

I read the same and honestly, my grandpa told me the same! He swears by it... However, I was reading on autogeek or autopia the other day about using it on black trim. Doubt I'll ever try it, but hey, can't be worse than peanut butter!

You'll like McKees. I have a few products and it's a solid brand for a great price.

Lol, yes, the old peanut butter...the oils in it hide the stains and darken the trim. Doesn’t last long.

Wouldn't last long because our dog would be licking it back off. LOL
