How do you remove the white polish residue from plastic or rubber parts?

Methylated spirits.

benzine works for me, cost like R20, i use it on the windows as well....

mmm...i have the same prob. Hate having polish on my cars rubbers.

Thanx for the tips guys!

Masking tape, prevention is better than cure.

Acetone..

Wash it and scrub it with soap water then hose it off with a high pressure washer.

O and another tip is to wash your car directly after the polish. The polish comes off very easy because it is still soft.

The easiest way to removed dried polish from trim is with a normal pencil eraser , works wonders! Try it before using any other chemicals

Using meths or solvents on rubber is not recommended as it will make it brittle and will cause premature cracking and fading.

Trim detailer.

Interesting, if it weren't so late now I'd go and try it right now.

Does the eraser work well even on textured plastics?

This is a much safer option.

This definitely works a treat. Use a decent sized eraser for better grip etc. "Erase" the polish/wax off the trim, and then go over with a bit of APC to remove any residue.

MhVW, have you given this a try yet ?
