Paint marks on trim

[VWKev]

Not sure how its happened but I have some paint streaks on the trim around my car.

I've tried various stuff to remove it and it looks as though its gone, but after the trim dries they re-appear.

Any one got any ideas of what would remove it completely ?

so.. is this kind of car park dinks where people have rubbed up against you?

when you say trim... is the trim bare plastic or painted?

sorry mate, I just call it trim, but more specifically its the rear diffuser on my mk6. It's def not anyone rubbed up against me, I dont know how its got there or maybe it has been there from new ?.

It's the bare (black) plasitc.

right... not sure what you have tried but I would try the following in the following order:

APC diluted 10:1
APC neat
Tardis neat
Thinners on a cotton bud (try a very inconspicuous area first to make sure it doesn't affect the plastic)

whatever chemical you use don't try aggressive pressure on the plastic as it might mark it

If from all these chemicals on the plastic it loses its colour then you could try http://www.gtechniq.com/shop/3s-for-cars/exterior-coatings/c4-permanent-trim-restorer/

Nice one thanks, will give those suggestions a bash. I've tried the APC already and normal shampoo's and trim cleaner but nothing worked.
