    So I got a little too much trim coating on my windshield wiper stalk what would be the best way to maybe remove this? Anyone have an recommendation?

    Are you talking about the metal arm of the windshield wiper?

    Just use some fine polish...the problem is a lot of wiper arms have flat black paint...so you may wind up with a shiny area and are going to have to polish the rest of that arm and the other one to match. There's really not a good way to get a coating, like C4, off without polishing it off.

    Yup, tried alcohol, paint thinner, gasoline, acetone and a few others. Nothing touched it. A rubbing compound with a lot of elbow grease helped, but not completely.
