    First off, did you use a brush to get into the textured trim? If apc/degreaser didnt work, mineral spirits/kerosene/diesel/tarminator...etc will take care of it no problem.

    If its textured I use magic erasers, HD has a generic brand for cheap

    Depends on what the cause of the white mark.

    Peanut butter
    Plastic polish (normally my best bet)
    APC (various)
    IPA (didn't do much for me)
    Mineral spirits (sometimes yes and sometimes no)
    Glycerin
    Trim dressings

    Still trying stuff.

    What vehicle do you own?

    Add DuPont Prep-Sol 3319s to the mix above and you'll be able to clean just about anything you'll come across!

    I've seen you recommend this before Bobby as a pre sealant/wax prep. I'm going to give it a try.
