I recently removed some vent visors that were broke. I used some turtle wax adhesive remover and some got on the pillar trim between the doors and on the mirrors. It has left streaks and spots that i cant get rid of. I have tried meguiars trim shine and mothers back to black but the streaks reappear the next day. Any help would be appreciated.#

Try polishing them with a AIO like Meguiars D151.

The material is a matte black vinyl tape. Not really able to be polished.

Mike's recent article might be of help: https://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/2017-product-reviews-mike-phillips/111781-review-dr-beasley-s-matte-paint-coating-mike-phillips.html

And here is the links to Dr. Beasley's Matte Care products:

Otherwise I would just try Solution Finish:

Those kind of pillars can be polished with AIO polish. I just did a 2011 Kia Optima this past weekend with Megs D151.

I didn't take any pics of the car but here's the pad I used to prove it. Pad looks like crap, but the pillars turned out great.

Mckee's Coating Prep Polish can also be used and I'm pretty confident it would remove those stains that OP is looking at on those pillars if used with the right pad.
