Default Get polish off trim....
What's the easiest way to get polish/compound off of plastic trim pieces? Thanks, Steve.

I bought some wax remover from autopia or some place like that and it only slightly worked. I'd say one method is just as good as any other.

i ususally use a final wipe solvent with a rag and it comes rate off like nothing...or just get a bit of thinner on a rag and wipe the area and then wipe off with a dry rag..this works too

Agree - peanut butter works great. But it doesn't always get everything.

I'd try but don't have any... If the buffer/water doesn't work, I'll have to buy some.
