I have some white marks on the black plastic bottom. Is there any product that can remove them?. I tried tyre foam but it doesn't last before they appear again.

A pencil rubber sometimes works depending on how much polish residue is there and how long it's been on.
Best method is to rub with peanut oil, works every time.

This stuff is good.
I use it on lots of cars. Gives a nice finish without being too glossy

No need to use back to black or similar.
The above product "feeds" , restores and protects the plastic trim.
You can use it on your tyre walls too for a nice matte finish

Probably the same ones that people use on other cars!
What have you used previously? If it worked then stick with it. Thw QQ isnt going to turn its nose up at you and say 'I dont like that'

The Autoglym as above is really good ...
Best tip try to avoid buying wax that shows white marks there are a lot of wax's out now that you can put on all over the car and no white marks.Autoglym Aqua wax is 5***** every wash... then twice a year ish meguiars ultimate wax . Or Dodo juice is good on the inkblue if wax leaves white marks bin it .... :roll:

You could try C4, it's pretty expensive but...

Those white marks on plastic trim are the same white marks as when the polish dries on the paint....you normally polish those off....so as it's dried polish try a toothbrush on it with a little detergent followed by some liquid silicone. It's hard work but inexpensive.
