I thought you were going to tape off the trim?

Is this old polish from a previous detail

It's the trim right by the side mirrors. I didn't think to tape off the entire piece, so there's a bit of splatter on them. Definitely a learning experience there.

APC and a toothbrush should work, since it's fresh

I plan on trying Mothers Back to Black Trim Cleaner. It is getting good reviews by fellow Forum Members. Its avail OTC, in case the APC does nit work


Trim is kind if a Catch-22...

Polish usually won't stain it, if it has been treated recently

BUT, if you try to treat it right before applying tape, the tape won't stick

That is good to know, I had this problem and thought I had some bad tape :(.
