I was giving my e60 it's first polish ever with Swissvax cleaning fluid when i accidently got a little on the ruber strip between the windscreen and the roof. Now there is a white mark that won't come off. Anyone done this before? Anyone got a way of getting it off? Also how do I avoid it in the future? Do you leave a little gap between the edge of the polish and rubber? See below (although you can't see much) crappy phone camera.

Any good cleaning product/detergent - even rubbing alcohol - should remove it. Avoid getting it on the paint ... rewax when you're done and also apply a good rubber / vinyl treatment to the rubber seal.

You could also take a cue tip with some flat black paint and coat the rubber strip. Even the cheap Walmart spray can will work with the cue tip.

Someone else (on www.detailparadise.com.au) suggested this. - So do I just smear it on the rubber and then wipe it off?
Are you guys for real? peanut butter?

-------------------
Peanut Butter? Ok how about some Jelly too? Now I am just kidding guys, but peanut butter sounds far fetch to me, but who knows? I got some wax on my black pieces also, and I have found nothing yet to remove it without possibly damaging the BLACK plastic finish even more, but I am looking...and will report in toe the forum if I find something that works!!!
