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?

Yeah ive just ag deep glossed and then used extra gloss protection. I got some of those wee white marks 2
Pain in the arse. How do u get rid of them??
-
Peanut butter, trust me!
-
Seriously ?? Crunchy or smooth haha :laugh:
-
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.
-
Let the cat lick the excess off...
-
use a rubber!
It really works :smiley:
-
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.
:undecided:
-
Yeah puts me off using SRP. Bought Poorboys instead. there's alot on the black bits of his car so i'll have to get cracking.
-
Those white marks are one of the reasons I stopped using AG products. :grin:
-
penut butter works for me and is good just for cleaning the rubbers around windows.AG products are good but are very chalkey and this can make them a pain in the ass to use :smiley:
-
AG products are very chalky... that is a good description
PB/Menzerna stuff I like to use for detailing... however if you are doing a big job with lots of coats of polish and wax then I would recommend covering your trim with some trim tape before you begin... means you don't have to be as careful round the edges and you can work right up to the edge too... 20 mins with trim tape can save you lots of frustration later on
I wouldn't recommend fairy liquid tbh (never ever on paintwork obviously)... but a trim brush and some PB APC should shift persistent residue. then you can open up the 'which trim detailing product to use' debate and get all sorts of answers from kiwi polish, peanut butter/oil, AG bumper snot, megs trim detailer, black wow, zaino Z4... the list goes on and everyone has their favourite until they find something better...

Autoglym Bumper Care does the job easily, apply generously and wipe off excess, job done.
(Used it on that textured plastic in the days when i had a BMW Mini, worked a treat and took two mins, regenerated the plastic at same time)
-
Silicon spray mate. :cool:
-
It wouldn't remove the marks themselves.
I've just been out with a pencil eraser and job done! thanks guys!
-
I had white marks on my flaps :drool: and i've been wanting to sort it out for ages :rolleyes: i was going to use shoe polish.
The shop i went in to didn't have any Kiwi, instead they had scuff cover ..lol it's in black :afro: 85ml bottle instant shine, deep colour restorer, and it has a little sponge to dab it on with :afro: worked a treat :cool:
£1.49 a bottle done all my outside trim, flaps, bumpers, door trim, with a couple of coats
www.darcygroup.co.uk is on the bottle there site is under construction :rolleyes:
-
AG Bumper Care on a Megs sponge applicator (with cotton wool buds for the fiddly areas).
Or, the credit-crunch busting option, Kiwi Liquid shoe polish, less than £2 and comes complete with its own applicator.
-
I dn't want to make the trim black just get rid of polish on there.
-
AG Bumper Care then.
-
I've already dine it using a 20p pencil eraser!
-
Yep, pencil erasers are the dogs danglies. Beats any expensive product for it :D
-
a normal rubber will get rid of the white marks :)
-
Autoglym vinyl / rubber care.
