Help chaps.

So chaps what will get rid of this?





Last year was the first time I ever compounded polished and waxed a car (hell it's my first and only NEW car).

I didn't think about putting masking tape over the trim (this year I've got frog tape).

I am using the trim restorer which it only hides it until I wash it again I want it gone for good.

Nut oil or peanut butter... honestly it will work

I don't have any Nut oil what about mustard oil?

[J1ODYA]

No, any peanut butter?

[tucpal]

it is a nightmare to remove from the plastic trim bits oil really does work

[J1ODYA]

Or a child's eraser although this is hard work.

[Rusty2009]

I had a go with some peanut butter but it had bits in, it has taken some away, I'll get some oil.

Thanks for the tip mate

[tucpal]

you needed smooth

[J1ODYA]

You do & leave it on a bit... I got bottle of walnut oil, just pour a bit on kitchen towel then wipe over.

[Rusty2009]

Is this walnut oil ok?

How long would you advise I leave it on for, it will be done out of sunlight in my garage?

[tucpal]

keep us updated of the results rusty

[grahamfromoldham]

Black shoe polish every time for me, cheap as chips and very effective. Use it on any black trim on the car, preferably a couple of coats should do the trick.

[J1ODYA]

That's the oil I have...

Does show polish cover it or remove it?

[grahamfromoldham]

Its been a few years since I used it to cover up overspill polish but I'm 99% sure sure the white won't come back.

[Rusty2009]

[MENTION=4]J1ODYA[/MENTION] I've just put the walnut oil on how long do I leave it mate and do I wash it off with soapy water?

[J1ODYA]

I just wipe on, wipe off... you still got it on?

[Rusty2009]

Ok thanks mate, yes still on.

[J1ODYA]

lol well shouldn't do any harm but keep us posted

[Rusty2009]

well it kinda worked its dulled it down but its still there, I've given it 3 coats.

[J1ODYA]

Jeez man, how much polish is there?

Give it some more oil, rub in with tooth brush then wipe dry... should sort it

[Rusty2009]

God knows mate it was my first time.

I'll go find a spare toothbrush (sure the kids wont notice if I borrow one of theirs )

I think the marks are down to the chalk they use in some cutting compounds. Using a toothbrush with APC All Purpose Cleaner Meguiars All Purpose Cleaner 710ml Trigger Bottle APC G9624EU | eBay

That reminds me of when I had a Renault Fuego , er a few years ago. People used to ask me how I kept the vinyl roof on it looking good but I don't think they believed me when I said boot polish. .


I think they thought I was manky. .

[Rusty2009]

It is getting rid of it, slowly think it might be harder to come off where it has been on there a long time.

[Rusty2009]

Just washed the car don't want the dealership to do it, and it's all come back so the oil hasn't worked.

Here is a thought . Maybe something like spirits or petrol to get rid of the stain and then something like CG Barebones over the top of the whole surface. .
