Hi guys

Whilst polishing my car today noticed a slight bit of overspray on the rear passenger door window seal, from when I had a few scratches removed last year. Its hardly noticeable but obviously want to remove it.
What would be the best way to do this?

Any help appreciated

Panel should have been de-trimmed.

I'd try taking back to them and let them try either panel wipe or thinners, although the latter may be a bit tricky if the trim is finished in plastic.

It was one of those mobile chip removal blokes who did the job, no longer in business so unfortunately cant take it back mad
The seal seems to be made from rubber, would it be safe to use thinners on this? I take it I would have to mask off all the surrounding paintwork?

Is this for your Mondeo?

IPA solvent shoud be OK, the seal isn't that expensive IIRC, the later chrome ones are though.
