Stubborn grime on trim edges an around badges

Yeah just use a detailing brush and small artist painting brush and work it with the stuff,you dont have to use sufex hd neat .. just take abit of time and use a microfibre to wipe away

I‘ll order some now, cheers - hope it works!

Auto finesse citrus power and a detail brush 👍🏻

CP isn‘t touching mine, gutted as I love the stuff!

Any APC with a detailing brush should get it off. Any remainder a cotton wool bud with some compound or polish on at most should do it. You also have the alternative of de badgeing, polishing the area and applying new badges.

Generally I've done well with them, my previous white cars looked great with a base of Tough Coat & last winter I got away with quick washes using Citrus Power in my snow foam and just wiping the glass.

Saying that recently I've been trying lots of different stuff and Bilt Hamber and Gyeon specifically Gyeon Fabric Coat and the Bilt Hamber Auto Wheel are outstanding.

I've ordered some of the BH stuff mentioned above and will give it ago, the AG Paint Renovator stuff was all I had that was moving it other than 50 passes with clay but was worried about how strong it is.

Cheers for the advice!

I just had my car go through a thorough professional detail where this grime was a big issue to remove.

They ended up using steam to remove it.

Had the same dirt myself. Not done the badges yet but thanks for that steam cleaner hint Alex, it did start to work but I ran out of time for that.

What worked for me under the roof rails, door seal and behind the indicators was normal AG shampoo followed up with AG Resin Polish. Low to medium pressure. Clay did not work for me in this instance, it only removed he lighter surface dirt.
