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.

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.

That's the oil I have...

Does show polish cover it or remove it?

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. .

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

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. .
