Ok first time polishing and got some polish on rubber seams near sun roof. Is there a way to remove this?
 
Duragloss Wax Eraser (WE) #481 it does better than most products that I have tried.

At least it's a rubber gasket versus a fuzzy gasket like this,

It's usually not easy and almost impossible to remove 100% of the staining effect, that's why so many people take the time up-front to tape-off a car.


You can try a spray detailer and a microfiber, a spray detailer and a little Isopropyl Alcohol, a microfiber and an all purpose cleaner, heck you can even use a clean microfiber towel and a little water.

You can try a nylon brush like a tooth brush...

There are some products for removing polishes and waxes off of paint that you could also use with a microfiber towel


You can try washing the car and lightly scrubbing the stained trim with a wash mitt or microfiber towel.


It's a tough problem. Someone on the UK website Detailing World recently asked me why I like to work on classics and hotrods and part of my answer is because they have no rubber, vinyl or plastic trim.

Sometimes they have no trim at all... I still do things like cover the tires and the grill, especially if I'm using a rotary buffer.

This custom 1949 Sedan Delivery has zero trim to tape off or worry about getting residue onto...

Wheel Maskers on the wheels and tires, I'll clean and dress these later...

I have had luck with Windex and a toothbrush. Then tape and re polish the area.
