How to remove or hide polish residue on side moulding?

[superstring]

Hi Folks



My black Subaru was in the body shop recently and they`ve left me some nice "presents" to deal with. Besides swirls and other marks, they left polish residue on the foam backing for the side door mouldings (of course they didn`t mask it off!!) So now I have a nice white line along my black door :angry . I`ve tried using a stiff detailing brush, but the residue has worked its` way into the foam`s pores.



I guess I could take the moulding off, but other than removing the foam altogether, I`m still not sure what I`d do then. I`d really appreciate any suggestions.



Thanks!

A couple of different things I have heard that will remove these spots are



1. Peanut Butter (creamy probably better than chunky)

2. Pencil Eraser (the big pink ones )



Good Luck,

Hey Cory



Thanks for the reply. The problem is that the residue is in the foam backing, so, for instance, if I were to use peanut butter, it would just soak into the foam. Maybe it would take the residue with it! :D But maybe it would just create another problem :confused:

You might want to try rubbing it with a detail brushes dipped in iso alcohol.



or option 2 - take it back to the body shop and have them fix it.

Meguiars Trim Detailer has some cleaning abilities but who knows what it will do on foam.

Thanks, guys. I`m going to take it back to the detail shop today and see what they have to say.
