Mothers back to black works damn good. Depending on how much wax you got on the molding it might take you a little while, but it comes out really good. I've heard of guys useing black shoe polish with good results as well.

Might take a little paint and eerything else off as well though.

DO NOT let brake fluid get anywhere near your paint! Once brake fluid has even made contact with paint, the paint is contaminated. It's almost impossible to completely clean it off as the stuff penetrates the paint's surface almost instantly.
The best (and safest) thing to use is wax and grease remover like an automotive paint store sells.

I had used a scrub pad and some stuff called zoom from amway, it worked great.

I found some old Bug and Tar Remover from Turtle Wax on the shelf in the garage it worked nice. Then I took some Tire Shine stuff and whiped down all the moldings made them shine too

Looks sweet
