Few months ago, i noticed some white marks on the rain gutters and rubber seals from the doors as i was washing the car. Tried to remove them with Meg's APC diluted and undiluted scrubbing really hard with a MF towel. Plastic oxidation (black residue) came off from the rubber, but those pesky marks and stains where there, no matter what!
Called my local VW dealer and got a $500 quote for the new pieces. As i was about to make a deposit and heve the new pieces pre-paid and ordered, i decided to try Spotless just for the sake of it. What the hell, right?
Waited for the weekend to try Spotless and decided to held on purchasing those pieces from the dealership.
Tools used:
* CarPro Spotless 500ml.
* Nitrate gloves.
* Meg's APC.
* detailing brush (soft)
* OTC, cheap MF towels.
Started by giving a car a good rinse to loosen dirt and bigger embeded contaminants, spraying Meg's APC undiluted and scrubbing the plastic pieces with my detailing soft brush.
Dried the aforementioned pieces and sprayed a little Spotless on a MF towel. Remember i tried using undiluted aAPC before, trying to remove those marks?, tought the pieces where almost clean, boy was i wrong! Lots of remaining black goo came right off!
Scrubbed the plastic pieces applying little pressure until the problem was gone. Applied some diluted APC to neutralize acids in Spotless. Washed and dried and finished by applying some DLUX for long lasting protection (not pictured)
I was blow away by how little work and elbow grease and time took me to achive some pretty evident results.

Sorry for lack of proper light on the pictures. Light was scarse as i was finishing working.
All things said, a pretty versatile product, easy to use, priced very well as only very little product was used, designed for both pros and amateurs alike.
Hope you guys like. Greetings!
