I was wondering what you guys think is the easiest and/or most effective method to remove wax, polish, or compound residue from rubber trim. I can`t believe any self respecting detail shop would hand over a car with this much compound residue all over it. When you walk by my car it almost looks like I painted all the seems and rubber white for crying out loud. Doesn`t say too much about me for taking it in that condition though, does it? :wall

I need to grow some sack.

You can also give AIO a shot.

Thanks Greg. I have Mother`s Back to Black as a trim restorer, will that suffice?

I have that stuff to but i think it sucks. It doesnt restore trim at all for me. Just try the Magic eraser super super softly and then follow up with any dressing. If you have the Klasse AIO that would probably work as well. If you get the mothers to work correctly please fill me in on your process.

becareful... compounds/polioshes can actually buff out the color of trim. once u clean the polish residue off check the area if its discolored.
