I've read about guys using the eraser on their wheels/tires and on plastic trim to get wax off. U could go over to autopia.org and do a search on it. I know i've read some posts about it on their site. Those guys know everything there is to know about detailing.

I did a search over at autopia.org. Some of the guys there have used it on interior trim, tires, glass and trim. It says on the box not to use on painted surfaces. A couple of guys have used it to clean leather too but i would be really scared to use it on leather as well as interior trim. If you take the tint off your car you can use it to help get the glue off. That glue is really bad and it sure aint easy gettin off that back glass.

I tried using some on my vinyl interior and it came out so nice. I used it all over my dash and steering wheel and doors and all and it just works so creamly

Don't use it on painted surfaces. My kids got scuff marks on a dark colored wall. The eraser took a lot of color off. I had to repaint the area. I've used it on my wheel and tires. I've even used on the engine to sprice it up some more.

I use them to clean my shower, but they fall apart fast. Cleans great, though.

I tried them on the wheels once to remove brake dust that was baked on. Did nothing.
