Best way to remove white polish marks from rubbing strips??

Post by Petrified »

??

I've been using auto glym polish and it leaves white makes on anything other than the paint work, the best way i've found so far is to use the vinyl cleaner for the interior but there must be an eiaser way?

Yes, I've tried water but it takes about 5 or 6 tries to acutally shift it.

I was reading on vortex about the joys of peanut butter in this situation - something to do with the oils in the nuts...

Then there's always the cooking fat option (if you want to smell like a chip shop)

Or shoe polish for a temp fix...

Yeah, the "green snot" is ace! Just don't get it on your windows though, if your applying it to the rubbers around your windows.
