Use a trim product of your choice.

cooking Oil? Sure it may work but now you'll have to get the oil residue off and when it rains, it will run. Not worth the hassle, regardless if it works. Why take a one step and make it a two step?

There are other methods and products designed for that.

BlackWow
Hyperdressing will remove spatter too
Poorboys Trim Restorer
303
Trim Shine

Many others.

 

Thanks guys.. I have some plan of attack, and will go after it after it stops SNOWING!

I now return you to your regularly scheduled topic...

Cooking oil will work fine-- this is why Peanut butter works to remove the residue (Peanut oil)

But, the method I prefer is the pencil eraser method--- No chemicals to mess with, easy to use, cheap, effective. I just did it today.

Chemicals work pretty well-- I will add on to JP's list:

Natural Shine
Orange clean (spray crap)
APc/APC+/Simple Green (be careful not to have overspray-- use a rag)
Stoners Trim shine* (See note with * at bottom)
Mothers Back to black ++ (see note with ++ at bottom)
many other trim shine/protectant products*


*NOTE*: It will hide it until it rains or until a couple of days have elapsed-- then it no longer hides the residue

++NOTE++: Back to black looks GREAT... for a couple of hours (days if you are lucky). But then it fades to a NASTY white that covers ALL of what you used it on. NOT worth it IMO...
