  • How do I fix these?

    Hi, I'm new to detailing and was wondering how do I fix these?



    Not sure what it is - paint, wax? How do I fix this?




    White discoloration on the rubber trims by the windows.



    Paint on the vinyl back bumper.

    Thanks in advance.

    You could try some Apc and a terry towel ornice soft bruch or some some M39 heavy-duty vinyl cleaner.

        Clay on texture?
        That's a replace it problem when textured plastic gets scratched up.

        It's like buffing a scratch out of matte paint. Doesn't work.

          Didn't like that answer huh? O.K. then, how about hitting it with laquer thinner instead

            Thank you all so much for the advice.

            So the mirror is a replacement job? Can't be fixed? How bout painted to blend in? Is there such thing as a vinyl paint?

              Now that's what I'm talking about! Why throw pebbles when we got grenades man.
              Have you actaully removed paint from that kind of plastic with clay? I think it would just slide around the top grains.

                doesn't have to be replaced. But I would waste my time trying to blend trim paint.
                Just remove the paint transfer.
