Removing white marks on black trim
« on: 27 September 2008, 11:53 »
My GF's brother AG SRP'ed his car and got alot of it on the black plastic trim.

how can this be removed? as it's annoying me and him. Would a normal 'back to black' treatment suffice or something to actually remove the polish?

Smooth.  Just apply it to any trim you want to restore.  Essentially peanut oil is the stuff to use but it's a bit specialist.  However peanut butter is exactly the same.  Obviously wipe the excess off!  Let me know how you get on.

Peanut butter didn't work for me. Autoglym do a trim treatment product that gets rid of it, but the best solution I found was a toothbrush with fairy liquid and a lot of elbow grease.

This side effect of AG SRP really puts me off, but I like the results.

Those white marks are one of the reasons I stopped using AG products.  :grin:
