Aluminium look window trim - detailing question

Hey

I am getting some white cloudy wax marks / streaks on my Aluminium look / plastic window trim, and cant seem to get them out. Anyone had the same problems.

It's not aluminum look, it's aluminum. Try gentle soap and a washcloth.

If it's too deep, tape off both sides and use a scouring pad carefully.

I would try claybar before before doing something this drastic.

Good idea.

Thanks guys, I will give that a go.

You can also buy a triple fine grade steel wool from detail places that will remove any marks.

Just be careful because if you rub it too much, you will polish the trim with it

I used Captian Richard's Bombs Away and it did a great job on my trunk trim piece...

Give wd40 a try. That stuff works great on stainless steel and aluminum.
