Hi

Can anyone tell me how to get the polish smudge off the black parts of the outside trim eg: mirror surrounds, mud flaps.

I have tried armourall and orange cleaner which look good when I put them on but within a day or so they are smudgy again.

Yes I know I shouldnt get polish on them in the first place but

Use Prepsol, It works brilliant. You will have to re-apply your polish treatment but it will get rid of smudges and scuffs and not damage your paint if you are not too harsh with it. Use ScratchX to get rid of any swirl marks you might leave when buffing the finish on the duco only.

If that doesn't work, Autoglym rubber car, and it will bring your trims up looking like brand new and keep them looking great, just be sure not to get it on your paint and leave it, it can stain

You can try Meguiars Gold Class trim detailer, you will have to reapply but it will last for a while

mothers "back to black" spray.

its like a armour-all product but made specifically for exterior trims when they start to discolor/fade due to oxidisation.

$13 from supersheep

Great help guys

Im of to the Auto shop now will let you know how I go

I use tyre shine, works a treat for me.

Ended up using Autoglyn Bumper shine. No silicates like armourall so is supposed to last longer and is not as harsh as some others. Seems to have worked well so far, time will tell but it was freaking expensive $23. Tryed the tyre shine slymeat but it didnt work for me thanks.

peanut butter works best

Ford detailer down here uses alcohol wipes, or use vodka on a rag. true
