If you are struggling with wax getting on the black trim, try using blue painters masking tape next time to prevent it from happening while waxing. If you still get wax on the black parts, try vegetable oil on a cloth to get it out, and then wipe it dry. I have followed that up with Mother's Back to Black with acceptable results.

For removing wax you should use all purpose cleaner or a pencil gum.

I agree with Phil.

Mothers Back-to-Black has worked really well for me too.
