Sealer stains on trim

How do I get them off?

 

Clay bar?

 

Might be total noob question BUT



You can use it on plastic?

 

Might be a total noob answer.

But I think you can use it on everything.

 

My clay bar just ends up getting caught up on some of the plastic and then I have clay bar in my plastic.

 

All Purpose Cleaner and a soft brush.
This is also good:

 

Admittedly I've never used it on unpainted plastic.

So.. noob answer is likely.

 

If plastic is at all textured (and sometimes even smooth) clay gets stuck in nooks and crannies. APC is a better bet. Simple Green, etc. You do need to re-wax or seal where it comes in contact with paint. Most of the detailing brands (Meguiar's etc) have their own APC's.

 

I have tried dawn and a sealant stripping soap. Shouldn't that help more than an AP cleaner?

 

Pencil Eraser works pretty good

 

i just polished and waxed my truck this weekend, same issue, but i used the Tuff Stuff spray foam and a micro fiber towel and it cleaned right up. some spots i had to hit twice.

 

I tried a pink eraser I bought from Walmart and it did not remove it. Are you talking about the eraser on the end of a pencil? Don't think there would be any difference unless the eraser on a pencil is harder material.

APC is going to be more aggressive than either of those. Should take it right off really.

 

This method removes wax but not sealer (in my experience).

 

Ok, my mistake, I used the eraser on wax.

 

Thanks I found this out. I had heard before that it removed wax on trim so I figured I would try it on sealer. And you are right, it does not remove sealer.

 

Ive heard a Mr. Clean Magic eraser clears it off but always cautious what I use on my trucks.

 

Works fine on the bed plastic. Have used it before even on tailgate handle.

 

Try this.

 

Might have to try this. APC didnt do anything to it.
