tom_d Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Hoping you guys can help me here. Over the last few weeks, mainly when it's been sunny ive noticed lots of fingerprint marks on the b pillar. I know it will be makeup off the girlfriend or sister. I'll be having works with them for sure! When I have washed it recently the marks have stayed there, does anyone know what I could get that would remove it? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanGersFord Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Try a cloth and a bit of methelated spirits. Works removing wax from plastic trim so should work on makeup too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom_d Posted June 17, 2013 Author Share Posted June 17, 2013 Thanks, quick google seem to be able to get a bottle for a few quid. So probably just a little bit on a cloth should get it off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve92 Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Try polishing them, there was a thread on detailing world where someone got suntan lotion on the back and you wouldn't believe the mess it makes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom_d Posted June 17, 2013 Author Share Posted June 17, 2013 Yeah I can imagine! I'm proper watching them when they get in / out of the car now haha I order a bottle of methylated spirits off eBay, but I'm sure I have some polish in the house too. Will try polish first then if that doesn't work ill use the other stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanGersFord Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 The methelated spirits wont damage your paint work :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanGersFord Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Is it internal B pillar or external? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Try smooth peanut butter. The peanut oil polishes plastic a treat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom_d Posted June 17, 2013 Author Share Posted June 17, 2013 External, still alright to use the stuff then? Like when they shut the door that's how the marks get there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iNath Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Try smooth peanut butter. The peanut oil polishes plastic a treat. But I prefer crunchy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanGersFord Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 External, still alright to use the stuff then? Like when they shut the door that's how the marks get there Yeah it'll still be fineAs said peanut butter also works Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b1g_dav3 Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 It's from foundation -.- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom_d Posted June 17, 2013 Author Share Posted June 17, 2013 Think I'll try and ban it from use around the car! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom_d Posted June 18, 2013 Author Share Posted June 18, 2013 The methylated spirits came today so I had to give it a try. It's not a successful as I thought it would be. Spent about 15 mins try to get it off and it just reduced it a little, the marks are still there. I will try with the polish at the weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
