Default Cheap plastic & discoloration

Hi everyone,

I applied some Meguiars Gold Class Clear Coat Car Wax Paste ( http://www.meguiars.com/?paste-car-w...-Car-Wax-Paste ) yesterday and some of it got onto the cheap plastic(?) piece dividing the painted door and the window. (This piece is in the picture below, right where the number "12" in the date stamp is) Now the piece is spotted and stained white - does anyone know how to clean it up/off?

TIA!!

Use tire foam or tire spray.... it should remove the white stuff and make it new looking...

Do not use acetone on plastic parts. It will begin to eat away at the plastic.

Back to Black is actually a Mother's product, and works very well except that you'll be re-applying it every other week or so. You might want to try this: http://www.properautocare.com/waxbawaxre.html

I bought some but haven't tried it yet. Might be worth a try on your car.
