    Have you tried APC? That ought to do the job...

We can go out for a drive without her makeup and she looks fine. If I want to take the black one out, it is three or four hours in the "bathroom" to get ready.

      This is the process I do everytime on my vehicles.

      After wash and paint prep I use painters tape to cover all the areas I dont want polish or wax on. It is time comsuming but it saves you a lot of trouble in the long run. If I happen to get some polish or wax on the trim I use Gold Class Trim Detailer to take it off. So far I have had great results with that combo.

      Good Luck!

        Gold Class Trim Detailer or Mothers Back to Black / Naturally Black will see the results you're after.

          Try one of the following:
          Peanut butter
          pink school eraser
          Either one of these should do the trick. Then invest in some painters tape to avoid this in the future.
          quality creates its own demand

              Apply a like minded product (wax) to infected area and swiftly wipe clean

                The Mister Clean Magic Eraser also works pretty good with Megs #40
                Black......the ONLY color!

                  Isn't the Magic Eraser too abrasive for this job?

                    M39 applied with a terry cloth or toothbrush followed by an application of M40 should handle the situation.
