Yeah, but make sure it's a white drafting eraser. They work best. Try it!

Yeah tar too. Anyway after all these years I still have a problem cleaning this part...
Is it plastic or paint?

never tried it on plastic, I know it works wonders on rubber though, I used to use it to clean and soften my R/C car tires for racing. it cleans and softens it like nothing else. It works great on the window mouldings, And cleans wipers really well also.

That's like "Back to Black". That type of product typically only covers up the wax residue until it wears off.
Take everyone else's advice and clean it first, then apply that stuff if desired.

They say not to use dish soap to wash your car because it removes the wax.......;)

Until it rains and streaks down the side of your car! But armorall just covers it up until it wears off anyways.

Antonio, why didn't you check with me on this  Heres what I use on that, which I think is powder coated. First try some Meguiars scratch X, maybe a couple applications  Then, if that doesn't work, use some trim detailer, also made by Meguiars but not sold in stores, so I'd go with Mothers Back to black, not to confused with AC/DC "Back in Black"  I've seen alot guys Tours with this piece horribly abused, gotta treat that too guys Let me know if this helps you out Antonio and if it does, you owe me  LOL!
