Done a quick search but nothing turned up
I have some black plastic with ingrained white wax. Ive tried some of those back to black type cleaners but they tend to leave some wax there, then black over it

What's the best thing to clean out the wax first petrol, terps, meths yum

All Purpose cleaner (APC) with nail brush or small detail brushes

Black one seems to work spin

Is peanut butter oil as good as or better than the usual brands in a bottle?
How long does it last?
