Default Removing polish from bumpers and plastics- help please

Guys, I didn't do a very accurate job last time I polished the car and have ended up with white bits on the plastics etc.

What's best for getting it off?

Thanks.

Use a warm damp cloth carefully on the plastic surfaces then when dry apply some Autoglym bumpercare with a small foam applicator.

That should help

If that doesn't work, Poorboy's Trim Restorer or P21S Total Auto Wash will cut through the white marks no problem and leave the trims cleans and ready for a dressing.

Not one for the pureists among us but I use Kiwi black leather instant wax shine shoe polish (the one with a sponge applicater) on the trim. It hides any polish residues and does a reasonable job. However, have a damp cloth available to immediately remove it from any paint work you inadvertantly get it on as it's difficult to remove when dry....
