Hi all,

A while back I used an aerosol cockpit spray on the inside of the car (big mistake!!). This spray caused the trim (soft plastic) around the doors to "fade". But in the true sense its not faded but looks faded. I got a cream trim/bumper product (I think its black in a flash?) and attempted to restore the trim. It does the job sort of, but it take alot of hard rubbing. It turns out the faded look is actually a dried in powdery film on the trim plastic.

So is there any tricks of the trade that would easily lift this powdery film, so I can then apply the cream to restore the trim?

Thanks
W.

Fairy Liquid, warm water and a nailbrush should lift it all off the pastic.
