Wax on rubber and plastic
Wondering what I should use to get wax and polishing compound off of plastic and rubber ? I have tried alcohol on a rag and some bug and wax remover neither did much any suggestions would be great.

The things suggested above wont FIX your problem.. Theyll cover it up for a week or so. Plus things like to stick to tire shine like dust and dirt..
The only thing I have had luck with actually removing wax and polish off rubber (like around my rear windows) is buffing it out with a dremel tool.. Even that didnt get it all.
I think the wax absorbs into the rubber or a chemical in the wax reacts to the rubber creating a change in the rubber itself..

I've used it on that and other black rubber and plastic pieces. The downside with the sunroof piece, it only darkens a little bit. It does not go full black.

I can't see a Dremel not doing damage, even with just a brush bit
