Firstly my apologies for starting another one of these threads, but I am now getting to the end of my tether with it !

Went to great lengths masking everything up a couple of years ago, however caught a loose tape edge and the inevitable happened.
At the time I managed to make best of it and thought I had cleared it up........................but just recently it has come back to haunt me !

I have tried all the usual tricks and potions:

Pencil Eraser
Mineral Oil
Peanut Butter
Various Detailing Products
Powerful Magic
Harsh Language

But none of this has had any effect.

So, open to suggestions.................

A citrus based cleaner on a microfibre should do the job - it doesn't necessarily have to be car specific like Gtechniq W5 citrus cleaner, you may have a household one knocking about.

I'd love to say it worked, but sadly it's not the case frown

Use a wet 'magic eraser' sponge. Gently go over the area (gently is key here, the 'sponge is abrasive).

This would be the next option, melamine or 'magic' sponge - yes it is ever so slightly abrasive but using with the previously mentioned citrus cleaner gives it some lubrication.
