I've got white marks on all my plastic trim, and can't seem to get it off...

Any good suggestions for removal?

Google recommends everything from peanut butter to diesel oil, so would be nice to hear som actual experience.

Are you wanting to remove the polish from the car or just the trim??

APC and a toothbrush,
Some trim dressings
A rubber
and apparently peanut butter (smooth obviously!) does work, but I haven't tried that one.

Don't use diesel or oil, it'll stain the trim.
