    Been using NuraFix on a few light scuffs on the door panel and it worked fine on the paint. But I got a bit on the black plastic trim near the wheel well and now it looks slightly streaky. Anyone else notice that or am I just not buffing it off properly?

    I’d just hit it with a quick wipe of soapy water and a microfiber cloth, usually clears up that streaky look without having to redo anything.

    Plastic trim is just different from paint, it grabs onto that stuff more. I think you just need to buff it a bit harder or use a damp cloth after. Worked fine on mine once I stopped being gentle with it.

    Plastic trim just holds onto that stuff differently. I’d just wipe it down with a damp cloth and see if that clears it up. Not really a big deal unless you stare at it up close.

    I think it’s probably just how the plastic grabs it, but honestly it’s not that noticeable unless you’re really looking for it. I wouldn’t stress over it too much.

    I noticed the same thing on some interior trim. Wiped it off pretty easily with a little detailer spray, no big deal.

    I feel like some plastics just show streaks no matter what you use. I wouldn’t stress over it too much.

    Huh, I skimmed the replies and it sounds like most people just wiped it off and moved on. I’d probably just grab a damp microfiber and not overthink it.

    I wouldn’t worry about it too much, plastic trim just shows every little thing. I’ve had similar streaks on my car’s trim with other products too, not just NuraFix. It’s one of those things you only notice if you’re staring at it up close.

    Plastic trim just seems to hold onto whatever you put on it, even if it wipes off paint fine. I wouldn’t overthink it unless it really bugs you.

    Plastic trim is just porous enough to hold onto stuff like that. A quick wipe with a damp microfiber usually takes it off for me.

    It’s probably just the texture of the plastic grabbing the product. A quick wipe with a damp cloth usually sorts it out.

    Honestly, I just avoid using it on plastic altogether now. Works great on paint but I figured out pretty quick that textured trim just grabs it and looks weird. Not worth the hassle.

    I mean, I used it on some plastic trim near my door handle and didn’t have that problem. Maybe you just didn’t buff it enough.

    Honestly, I just try to wipe it off as soon as I notice it and it’s usually fine. The plastic just seems to hold onto it a bit longer than paint does.

    I haven’t tried NuraFix on plastic trim myself, mostly just used it on paint scratches and it worked fine. I could see how it might leave a bit of residue though, plastic can be tricky like that. I’d probably just try wiping it off with a damp cloth if it bothers you, but honestly I wouldn’t stress too much. It’s still a decent product for paint at least.

    I think it just needs a bit more elbow grease on the textured stuff. I wiped mine down with a slightly damp rag right after and it looked fine.

    I’d just wipe it with a damp cloth and move on. Not everything needs to be a deep clean mission.

    I’d just wipe it off with a damp cloth and not worry about it too much. Plastic trim can be finicky like that, but it’s not a big deal in the long run.

    Honestly, plastic trim is just weird like that, some stuff sticks and some doesn’t. I’d probably just hit it with a quick wipe and see if it evens out after a wash or two.

    Glad I’m not the only one who noticed that. I just wiped mine down with a damp cloth and it evened out after a bit. Not a huge deal, but definitely something to keep in mind if you’re using it near the trim.
