« on: 27 June 2018, 15:01 »
Cab seen to get rid off these. They seem like water marks. Anyone else had these?

Always worth doing a search in the Detailing section of the forum for solutions to issues such as this. This might help;

If it’s old polish, etc I had an awful time trying to shift marks.  Nothing worked and eventually came across advice on another forum....use a simple rubber/eraser!  Bit of elbow grease but it will shift all those marks and then apply trim dressing to a nice base!

I always use Autoglym bumper care on my rubber seals around the windows and any black plastics. Works a treat for me. Brings them up like new.  :cool:

I was told it was the acidic solution they use at the dealer to clean the car. I used polish to clean mine up.
