Polish on my black bumpers
Any recommendations on how to get the white polish marks out of the black bumpers on me Saxo?
Back to Black is useless other than for the interior.

A few layers of poorboys trim restorer should do the trick.

no probs, just make sure you use the restorer regularly, should look as good as new after a few uses.

P21S Total Auto Wash is perfect for this type of task. Poorboys Trim Restorer has mild cleaners in it and will remove light polish residues, but not really bad white satins.

As rich says, the auto body wash or a good all purpose cleaner will remove them, then you can use a trim restorer to darken the plastic again 
just remember to buff off the trim restorer after 10/15 mins or it'll run

I thought you'd run over some Polish people for a second...
I've heard shoe polish works good but i havent tried it.

Surely it would run if it rains?
I am looking at removing, not covering.
