What to do about white scaly bits on plastic trim?
I've been tidying up under the hood and the nooks and crannies. I found these white spots that look like soap scum or water scale on the black plastic trim under the windshield.
I tried to just rub it off with a cloth and some elbow grease, also tried a mild cleaner and neither worked. Was wondering what this stuff is and how I could clean it. My other idea was to use a product like Forever Black which is basically just a black dye. ![]() ![]() ![]() |

magic eraser worked somewhat. it's basically a polishing/sanding type device. it dulled the plastic and made a bit of a smear effect on it but it's less noticeable than the smattering of water scale
