    Hey guys,
    I was just polishing a car moments ago. When i finished and proceeded to remove the tape from the plastic piece's, i noticed that the tape left some small marks as if it had "sucked" the oils out of the trim. I was wondering if it would be okay to use rubbing alcohol (or diluted rubbing alcohol) to remove these marks before i apply forever black. I tried it out on a small piece and it looks like it worked but i wanted to double check with you guys before i go ahead and do it on the other pieces.

    Thanks and please let me know asap.

    I use alcohol to clean trim when its necessary. I dont do it often however.

    I just used Forever Black today, very nice product.
