Question: How to remove melted crayon from door handles

Been carrying my nephew and niece in back seat and found melted crayons in the door handle pulls. I have an 08 g35 black/black 4DR. Any recommendations? I don't want to scratch the the door pulls as they peel easily. Thanks.

Wow, that's a tough one. If it were me, I'd take one of those air cans that you clean computers with, turn it upside down, and spray the crayon to freeze it. Then, I'd carefully try to chip it out in as big chunks as I could. If the crayons are already hard enough, you may not have to freeze it. Good luck.

I know with my kids in the backseat, I'm always finding crap in the door pulls. Luckily, crayons haven't made an appearance yet, but I wouldn't put it past them.

Heat gun. I've used paper towel and an iron to get crayon/wax off carpet with no problems.
