    White Haze on Trim

    Hello! I am down to spending 30-45 minutes taping up the trim on cars just to be absolutely certain I do not end up with the dreaded white haze. I have not been able to locate any product that works better than rubbing alcohol.

    What is your method? Since joining this site, awesome btw, I have seen lots of tape jobs from pictures of cars in process.

    Sorry if this is an overly talked out issue.

    Thanks!

    How about trying to use products that don't stain trim and a technique to minimize contact with the trim?

    What polishes/waxes are you using?

    Don't know your level of expertise but being careful at the beginning can save you a lot of thime at the end. A simple strip of tape saves time and the use of some other product to counteract the negative effect of what you did. This is where your technigue comes in to play.

    Eraser.

    I'm not sure if it works better than alcohol, but it worked for me. White Haze on Trim-imageuploadedbyagonline1458767781-933015-jpgWhite Haze on Trim-imageuploadedbyagonline1458767798-800342-jpgWhite Haze on Trim-imageuploadedbyagonline1458767813-611222-jpg

    Brilliant Process. I have used everything inside the house I could think of. I will definitely test this. Thank you. The pictures help too! I also thought you were referring to s product, not physical eraser!

    Totally agree. I tape it all up. Maybe I have been to tedious about it. My technique varies depending how far into the case of beer I am! jk!
