Title: How to remove polish from trim?
Post by: AlexKid on 22 January 2009, 18:10
Got loads of polish on my window seals and black exterior trim.  I have heard people recommend peanut butter but it just isn't doing the job.  Any recommendations?

Cheers.

With the amount of plastic and rubber on a Mk2, I've tried loads of things. The best solution for me (mainly because I use autoglym SRP as my usual polish) is autoglym's bumper care, as its specially made to remove the SRP stains. A pencil rubber is supposed to be good, and I've also used a toothbrush and a little WD40 (although this removes wax too so be careful).

Peanut butter didn't really work for me.

Peanut butter - great sexual lube, not so great at removing polish.

Thinners on a rag works for me (but stings like a b!tch if you put it on your knob)

Just get a pencil eraser on it then dress as normal. Does the job!
