Default polish that doesn't leave white marks

The Mini is due another polish, but there are a lot of black plastic trim parts, and the last time I polished it with Auto glym UDS, it marked the trim something awful, and was very difficult to remove.

Is there a good polish on the market for white and black paint that doesn't mark plastic trim ??

try the turtle wax ice stuff from halfords steve. dont know how good it is but its clear so wont leave any marks. if you do get any white marks on black trim, best way to get them off is peanut butter. and i'm not taking the wee. it really works due to the oils in the peanuts.

silicone oil is great for getting rid of white marks and is great for the rubber as well.

According to the label on the bottle Autoglym Fast Glass

'Quickly and safely removes traffic deposits, dust, insect remains, tree sap, oil, grease, bird droppings, and POLISH STAINS on paintwork and PLASTICS.'
