Hi, seeing as it was bank holiday I polished my car at the weekend with AutoGlym super resin polish. Unfortunately I got some on the back bumper insert which has now turned a nice shade of white/grey and spoilt the overall appearance (plus it's not stopped raining since!)

Can anybody recommend something to remove the polish stain from the various bit of black plastic trim?

Cheers
Carl.

"Back to Black" or Autoglym's own "Vinyl and Rubber care" works well for me.

A nail brush and black boot polish or I use Extreme tyre gel on my tyres - not used it on the black trim as I've not had to. I also use it on the the moulded black plastic mud flaps on my gf's MGF.

I use Turtle Wax Black bumper restorer which works well for me. Slap it on and leave for 10 mins then buff up to a shine. My car was horrific with the same thing when we bought it as the last owner must hav had S.Wonder polishing it for them as the couldn't keep the polish on the bumper and off the trim.A couple of aplications of this soon rectified this.

Gone but not forgotten..

Is that a big oil leak in the pic on your sig?

Or is it those nasty black ghost that take the baddies away in Ghost?
