Default polish marks on black plastics

ever wondered how to remove the white polish marks on your black plastics well its easy all you have to do is use a white pencil eraser sounds too good to be true ay well try it first rub the eraser into the marks you will see they will dissapear but leave a rubbed affect on your plastics all you now have to do is use a damp cloth on the plastic and the rub marks will be removed hey presto job done

You might laugh, I did until I tried it but crunchy peanut butter works very well at getting polish off too.

Don't use it on your paintwork though!

Much better to be more careful or tape if up first.

You have to watch with certain products like AG Bumper Care as this more often that not just hides the residue which then comes back after a while. Neat APC or Citrus Degreaser works for me every time - if it's really ground in then IPA works wonders. Erasers can work well but will turn certain trim and rubbers a bit shiny so just be careful
