General Polish or something on bumpers.

[smithmr8]

Ever since I've had my car, there's been polish or something white staining the bumpers (rear and front). Some pictures below of what I'm talking about.

Wondering whether anyone can suggest a method of removing it. Tried just soapy water, trim cleaner ect.. but nothing seems to get rid of it.

Would like a tad nicer without it.

That is from someone using t-cut by the looks of it! A real bugger to get off! You can sand it off but you'll take the finish off the bumper aswell.

I spilt it on my first car and white paint ran and coated my bumper!

Black shoe polish?

Indeed. Its proving to be a right pain.

Hmm. Never thought of that. Shall give the shoe polish a go

I have used AutoGlym Bumpercare in the past for polish and stuff with good results. It goes on as a green gel and you rub it in then leave it job done!
You can get a small bottle from most auto shops for a few pounds.

Thanks. Shall give that a go aswell. Pop down to the local shop on monday.

It's polish residue.. it stains white trim. A stiff brush and some APC should sort that out, then follow up with the dressing of your choice.

T-cut does the same thing and it looks more the colour of the paint!

Used some AutoGlym Bumpercare on it, and am so happy. Took the white straight out, and the bumper looks insanely good. Almost new looking.

Glad it worked for you
