A couple weeks back, when I took delivery of my 16 RS, I really didn’t notice the residue on the wing’s uprights. The uprights/braces are painted a matte black on non-smooth surface. Indeed a perfect recipe for removing a PIA wax residue.
Before I go and spend $1000.00 per ounce Porsche Matte-Black Wax Remover...(I’m positive it’s a thing), does anyone have a “tried and true” suggestion of removing the residue. I’ve looked on line, and no where did I find something useful, although where does one obtain Humming-Bird Urine? (Beware of free advice online)
Much appreciated for your suggestions should you have one...
Cheers

I would use dawn dish soap in a little water and a microfiber towel. won't take muck elbow grease to get rid of any wax. just try not to let it get on the rest of the paint where you don't want to remove the wax.
I ordered the Chemical Guys Wax and Oil remover as it has multiple purposes...and some additional micro-cloth towels. Mine seem to disappear every time my son comes to visit...
For the others that provided input...I appreciate all of the suggestions and will keep those handy!!!
Thanks

I had the same thing from the factory of all places when I picked up my car in Leipzig. Feel like I used IPA but it was indeed a pain to get off. For anybody getting their RS detailed definitely tell the detailer to tape the supports. Harder to remove than just getting wax off of black plastic trim.

+1. Dish soap. Will strip wax off of anything it touches
Usually any quick detailer will take care of wax residue. If that didn't work I'd just use dawn, as it will strip off the wax from your paint and should take care of this no problem.
