stanski Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Accidentally squirted some Turtle Wax Wet 'n black tyre dressing on my door trim! Its silicon based stuff and has left little marks - even though I tried to rub it off soon as it happened! Anyway of removing it without taking a layer of trim off also - its the revised interior remember i.e soft as chocolate! Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris`I Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 i know this isn't going to help but.... hahahahhaha -ho Classic! I suggest speaking to the various detailers on the forums (Muddy, Envy etc) and see what they suggest. I wouldnt want to chip anything in to find it damages the car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stanski Posted March 9, 2009 Author Share Posted March 9, 2009 So I cant use washing soda then! I hate using any silicon based dash cleaners or polishes as they eventually ruin the surface material - I have some Autogylm interior cleaner and Mer cleaner - may try each one and see how I go but silicon is a dog to remove I think especially as the door trim is that textured effect doodar!

Ebized Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Just a thought Stan, as I take a break from the DIY - silicone remover that B & Q and the like sell - usually about £8 a tube - know idea if it would work in your case and might need to try where it it would not normally be seen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stew Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Soft nail brush and some diluted APC (e.g. megs) to about 1:10 give it a scrub then wipe and protect with a good plastic protector That's what I'd try! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stanski Posted March 10, 2009 Author Share Posted March 10, 2009 Just looked at that Peroxide link Beavis - technically I have to say that the ahem cleaning products that my company manufactures has more than just basic cleaners like that one -they spend millions in research etc etc etc! Personally I like the old Victorian solutions which do use these basic materials - like washing soda (Sodium Hydroxde?), Hydrogen Peroxide, Baking soda (Sodium Bicarbonate), Linseed oil for sealing and cleaning tiles for example - all those old cheap products work so really there's no need for fancy purple coloured products in whizzy squirty bottles with people shouting at you from the telly! But I will try my car cleaners on the door trim first! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Even an APC like daisy (Tesco for less than a quid a bottle) wiould be worth a try. APC is ace. I use it as a degreaser and cleaner all the time but it wouldn't damage the trim (check first though....) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
