cleaning wax residue on trim
After waxing my car I've found that I've gotten some wax on the trim. I was wondering what's the best way to get rid of it? I can temporarily make it look like it's gone by puting on armor-all but a week later it is back.

Make a solution of dish detergent (like palmolive or something like that) with water. Use an old toothbrush and the solution to scrub the trim areas. This will remove the wax residue. Be careful not to get dish soap onto the paint as it will remove the wax from there too. It's not harmful to the paint at all, but it does strip wax.

Meguiars makes a vinyl/rubber cleaner/conditioner. Works pretty damn good.

Paste Black Show polish works well too, the stuff in the little cylindrical tin!

It needs to be hot peanut butter. It causes the wax to melt, then absorbs it.

i heard it somewhere else on the forums, but its worth metioning, try a pencil eraser, it works pretty good, but the trim will eat the eraser up pretty quick, also try wax and grease remover and tar and bug remover, pretty much anything that will strip wax will remove it.
