You can try bug and tar remover or 3M adhesive remover. Both will work for removing sticky substances. Like all cleaning products READ the label carefully before use. BTW don't ask about posting pics this forum loves seeing pics.

I use a really stiff bristle nylon brush to clean the wax out of my textured mouldings.

The apexcones look horrible. DDM sells depos for a few bucks more.

I took before and after pics... not sure if people wanna see it though.

Anyone got a set of Depo's you wanna sell?

Try soaking a paper towel in vinegar and setting it on the goop.

Also, remove the tow hook cover.

Yeah it was totally absurd. My roommate and i walked outside and were like "...CHICKEN!?!? Who does that?"

It was pretty funny, never heard of anything like it. There were wing shaped splatters on my car.
