    How to remove compound/polish from textured plastic rubber moldings ?

    Sorry if this was asked before ?
    How do you guys remove wax,compound,polish from textured plastic body trim components or rubber moldings ? Is there a few products that aid in this...
    I have started compounding my F150 in Tuxedo Black, there are many light scratches & imperfections due to usage. I started masking off this vehicle ....but there has to be a better way ?

    Any help appreciated.

    I've used Einszett Plastic Deep Cleaner on exterior trim to remove compound/polish with good results. I usually spray on a mf towel and then rub on the trim. I've also used a small brush along with the cleaner for trim with deeper textures.

    Light agitation with a magic eraser and water work wonders.

    Masking is much better than trying to clean up later

    Beware of those giving suggestions without evidence of their results.

    I would rather take the time to mask.

    For the Rubber trimming I would get yourself a stiff brush at one of the big box store in the cleaning asle, then I would pick up a small bottle of Solution finish and seal.. Should last 12 months or more. IM still testing this product.

    Your options are:

    1. Mask trim
    2. Use a product that doesn't stain trim
    3. Clean up afterward

    They are numbered in my preferred order. Not many non-staining compounds out there.

    A pink eraser
    APC and a damp microfiber
    It's more than a car...Keep it clean

    APC and a soft toothbrush has worked very well for me.
