Ooops, I didn`t tape black plastic trim, stained!

All,

I just use my PC 1st time and I admit I should have taped the black plastic trim ( not rubber) and it has not so pretty pink swirls. I`ve tried scubbing, armour all( (yeah i know,not the hottest product but I had some and thouhgt I try.) When it tries, pink swirls come back!

Help!

TIA

A toothbrush and some APC should work. I`ve used Meg`s #39 and Poorboys Biodegradable Cleaner and both do a very good job. One advantage PB`s has over #39 is the it`s concentrated (#39 is RTU), so you can mix it stronger if need be.

Edit: Armor All is a dressing, so it wouldn`t clean it, it would just "mask it"... unless you are talking about the Armor All All Purpose Cleaner (Blue label), which may work. I seem to recall it was a fairly decent cleaner, but I haven`t bought a bottle in years.

I recently used Bill North`s method on some tough wax stains, which is EO A2Z and a toothbrush. I got a little scuffing...but I think that`s cuz I got impatient and tried some other brushes

Just be careful A2Z (or Eagle One All Wheel & Tire Cleaner, as it`s now called) is pretty strong stuff, will take off your LSP, etc. I should also mention that some of the surfaces still don`t look perfect; I`m not sure if that`s brush scuffing, residual wax, or some "damage" to the surface from the A2Z...so, be forewarned.

GR-40 trim cleaner from Top of the Line will just tear through any wax/polish stains on trim. Honestly, its so good that I don`t even bother to tape anymore.
