Cleaning B pillar vinyl door trim and weather strips
Hi guys
Would love some help on how I can remove water mark like stains from B pillar vinyl door trim and and what looks to be oxidised weather strips on the outside of the doors.
I tried using Optimum Power Clean which lifted off the majority of the surface dirt, but it has still left the stains/marks behind.
Any hints or tips on how I can get these cleaned up and looking like new again?

Are the B pillars textured, smooth and matte, or smooth and shiny?

A picture please and what is the material and finish of the B pillar?
I believe in treating everybody with respect, and clean cars. That’s what I believe in.

As noted above, we need a little more info about the nature of the surface.
For example ... if it's a smooth metal surface (ex. painted metal, piano black, etc.), I'd hit it with Blackfire One Step.
If it's a textured plastic surface, I'd try a wax remover product or APC (light to med strength) + brush, followed up with something like Wolfgang WETS or Solution Finish if you have a lot of fading.

Thanks guys.
The B pillar trims are a matt finish.
I believe they are vinyl covered, car is a Hyundai Veloster N.

Have you tried lacquer thinner?

I would try OPT Hyper Polish or McKee’s paint prep polish by hand.
