I think it is for exterior only. It has a pretty potent smell so I wouldn't want to use on the inside at least.

I've also had different experience then the other poster as I've not had the wax or grit show back up. We might be using differnt waxes or my blemishes werent as bad. Don't know but it's done good for me.

The other post about a strong cleaning solvent real good as well.

Long story short is a lot of good advise for you on this thread :-)

You can use "No Rinse" as well, it has some good paint cleaners in it.

You make a good point. I use Back to Black on all the exterior trim about once a month, so I don't have the issue of it wearing off and the wax smears reappearing. I'll have to try the Mr Clean Magic Eraser on my next major cleaning and see how it works.

Pink pencil eraser will take care of it no problem.

For dressing black trim, I use Meguiar's Hyperdressing exclusively. It's awesome. You can use it slightly diluted for high gloss, or dilute 4:1 with water for a more matte finish.
