Hi, bug and tar remover--------and change to a carnuba wax, no white deposit. Good luck. Oh, and change your socks.

Looks like it will be quite hard to remove that red line

I see you managed to add some detail buddy (I jumped the gun a bit )

Might be easier to remove the red line than the trim

Meguiars Endurance tyre gel usually does the trick. I had similar on the OH's Mk3 golf back in the day and this was the only stuff (at the time) that worked
It will fade after a week or two but, just keep reapplying until it beds in.
Now...this red line...pre-paint?

One trick that sometimes works is to use a pencil eraser. Rub over the area then wipe down. Another pencil case product blutec can also help by just dragging it over the area. Grained plastics are a pain to get polish removed from them. Wheel and bumper treatments can help if the stationery shop fixes do not work. If you do go to purchase an eraser pick up some masking tape and use it next time to protect the plastics, a few minutes putting on tape saves hours of remedial work.

Hi,
Use a soft detailing brush with All purpose cleaner mixed at 3/1 with water.....then a rubber on what’s left. Clean again with apc mix. You may have to do it a few times.
Then re treat your plastics. They look textured so you may have to use some elbow grease.
Good luck.

Repeat, tar remover - honest !

A rubber pencil eraser works

Your best bet is a strong APC with a Koch-chemie majic eraser, or Garage Therapy Decon remover.
Wash it off then IPA, finish ff with Carpro Pearl or something similar
