| Sounds like polish on the unpainted plastic parts. Peanut oil/peanut butter works best to remove it.

| Briskodian | But does it remove it or just cover it up for a while like all the various trim detailers? I've found the only way to remove polish/wax residue from trim is dilute washing up liquid and a small brush

| The white residue is definatly car polish that hasen't been rubbed in or has settled in a grove in the cars body work, I had to get rid of some on my car.

| Now I know this is an enthusiasts site, but leaving white residues takes it a bait far
