I didn't use tape. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
I have not tried this but I read IPA also works.

I have a car I can try it on, will let you know tonight.
 
All purpose cleaner on a towel and scrub. IPA will work but can start to break down the rubber not that a single event will do much harm. Still best practice is to keep IPA away from rubber.
 
I've started using 1Z Einszett Plastic Vinyl Deep Cleaner to clean trim, cleans well and doesn't cause any problems with trim.
 
Not sure if anyone else does this, however I generally apply the trim protectant before paint sealants as it made any required cleanup less laborious.

Great idea!
 
I actually use creamy peanut butter on a microfiber towel. rub a little on th etrim and the oils from the peanut butter release the sealant. Wipe with a clean microfiber and the stains are removed.

I have roof rack rails on my Dodge Nitro that is texetured and it works great.
 
What sealant are you trying to remove?

Do you have a picture?

I though most of them were compatible with trim?

I have used Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant on trim and it looks great.

Who would have thought that something you eat would be good for detailing too :)
 
I regularly use D156 (a.k.a. UQW) on exterior trim. Looks nice and lasts a long time.

Ammo skin on textured trim and on moon roof rubber seals.

I almost hate to ask, but how did you find out that this works :laughing:
 
No actually I found it on you tube. I searched for restoring trim watched it then tried it. Works great. You need to use only a little and the wipe. If I have stains on trim I will use the peanut butter then wash with my favorite car was Poorboy's slick and suds.
