any ideas to get polish marks off black plastic trims cos its bloody annoying

 

auto glym fast glass works

 

black wow.

 

Traffic film remover, or tar and glue remover

 

i ran over a white polish lad, a quick jet wash removed all the evidence from my trim.

 

lol

 

plastic gel etc

 

smooth peanut butter :-P

 

raciest and factual

 

 

its only racist if i meant it....

 

plastic bumper restorer from autoglym.

Personally to avoid future cases of this, use that first, then polish, if you catch the plastic, it will wipe clean off.

 

good one mate

 

tried that stuff but is still there its on mrs fiesta zetec s tempted to paint them grey end of all probs

 

smooth peanut butter ortry a pencil rubber

 

peanut butter is this a wind up

 

Use a pencil eraser, works wonders!!

 

No it works

 

i saw that peanut butter trick on auto trader on discovery.. it does work

 

yeah you can use it to bring bumpers/trim back to black apparently

 

Lee, if you stick with Meguiars stuff you can go wrong, any of their trim cleaners etc word fine IMO, I dont use autoglym products at all anymore, there are cheap and cheerful and always leave a less than satisfactory finish on anything, whether it be painted panels, glass, trim or interior..

Don't fuck about with peanut butter for fuck sake! Use something that is meant to do the job!

Furthermore, to avoid it in the first place (rather than apply something beforehand as someone has stated) just mask the area's up with tape, that way you can do things properly then!

Finally, if you want to paint things to avoid this then i think it's a good idea, on my old Saph I painted the front plastic scuttle, Mirror Bases, Dorr Handles, Rear 3/4 sails and C Pillars all in Matt Black, trust me it looks the tits!

 

Not at all

 

Peanut butter works really well.Use the peanut butter then go over the black trims with back to black.

 

I imagine peanut butter works in two ways. Its abrasive enough to get into the 'grain' AND its oily enough to replenish the oil in the plastic, effectively working like a moisturiser.

As for autoglym, I've always found the bumper restorer stuff to be brilliant, and I think the rest of thier stuff is rubbish so I'm no 'fan boy'.
