Well the subject line kind of says it all.

This weekend while I was cleaning up the car I managed to get some Meguiars Gold Class Trim Detailer on the paint.

I tried to clean it off with a bit of ONR and thought it had cleaned off. But when I came out this morning the 'stain' has reappeared.

Is their any product I can use to get this off?

Thank you
 
Use Meguiars glass cleaner or Meguiars APC. Both are safe to use if you do not let the product dry .
Use a microfiber for removal.
 
I'll try that. I've got some APC+ headed my way thanks to the 20% off weekend special.
 
Hmm, I have not had a problem removing over-spray via a MF towel. I would say APC will take care of it, just dont forget to wax the area over again as the APC will take it off.
 
Usually wiping with a microfiber will remove most if not all of it.

Stains are either topical or embedded, if topical then they should wipe-off with some type of cleaner, if they've penetrated into the coating then try a compound, paint cleaner or swirl mark remover.

Thank you for the information Mike.

They should only be topical at this point, I had just finished putting a coat of wax on the vehicle so it shouldn't have penetrated into the paint.

Got my 'big' order in this week, thanks to the 20% off, part of the order included a 1 gallon jub of Meg's APC+.

I diluted down a 32oz spray bottle 10:1 and headed out to the car. Sprayed the mixture onto a clean MF and went at it.

Below are some before and after pictures. We'll now 'officially' see if it topical or actually embedded into the paint.

Before Glass (this is shows a better view of how the paint looked also)

Unfortunately I don't have any after glass, but it did look clean.

Not all this was caused by the splatter I talked about in the first post, I think a lot of this might be run off after in rains. I don't think I'm using to much product but I'll keep an eye on my usage.
 
Just use a decent quick detailer and it should wipe away. I would try that first since it should do the trick!
