Removing polish from rubbers?

just wondering peoples views on this and if they have any tricks they could share?

I've heard wd40 is good.. anything else?

Smooth peanut butter.

The oils in it do the trick.

I thought that was a joke

I used this stuff on my side trims and handles as they were covered in white polish. Did the trick.

g tecnique trim restorer

expensive for small tub but good stuff

No not a joke mate.

It doesnt work everytime, depends how bad it is.

Few times ive used it, its been ok.

Cheapest way to remove polish residue from black trim is a pencil eraser.

Dirty old engine oil

I've used glass cleaner to good results,
Linseed oil is also good so I here but I've never used it myself,
Warm it or bring it to the boil and put on seals, but as said never tried it

Ive already got that black to black car plan tub and its rubbish.

Will try glass cleaner if that doesnt do the trick pop to halfords and buy something.

Off topic slightly, faded bumpers can be restored by heating them with a hot air gun.

I would take the trims off and give em a scrub etc.

I found it quite good, depends I suppose how bad yours are thou.

Just checking I got it right but everyone is suggesting items that make the trim go nice and black.

I take it your after something to remove polish residue which is completly different???

mer bumper and vinyl cleaner and a toothbrush.

GC to remove residue.
Over time treatment of trim remove residue anyway…eventually

tbh the best way to take the polish of rubber is using window cleaner as it has a little alcahol in which breaks down the polish
i alway use autoglym fast glass with a microfibre cloth
hope that helps

Sounds silly does this    

What I do is use some fresh polish and take it off straight away. It works for me! The polish I use is Autoglym super resin, my rubbers are quite good so not sure if you'd get the same result with slightly perished rubber. Rub it in hard and take it off hard and straight away! will also make your rubber look nice! as for polish on plastics I use trim restorer.

Use 3M 3434 Blue masking tape on rubber before you polish saves a lot of time after! I use Swissvax Seal Feed on all rubber brings them up like new.
