First of all I'd like to thank Tazz for all his help, the paint job on my truck turned out great. I've painted in the past, but the B/C was a whole different monster, and alot more work, but the end result was worth it. Now I have another question, magin that!!:sillyme: I've read through the first 27 pages and haven't found anything about this. I What does everyone use to get the buffing compound off all the rubber gasket material around the windows, doors, and plastic mirror trim. I've tried water, acitone, laquar thinner, and a small brush on a dremmel. Noting seems to work. Any help would be great.

Glad I (and the forum) have helped you out.

As far as the compound, it should wash right off with some good soapy water and a nice pressure wash job.
Maybe you left it on quite awhile and it's on there "good". If so, you might want to try a detail brush and some good spray detailer or some Simple Green.
Hopefully that helps you out.
I would try the soapy water first though. Use a good wash mitt with very soapy water.

Hmmm strange it won't come off. But try what was suggested, Failing that Mothers has a product called back to black.

What I used to use at the Ford dealership when I got some compound on the textured door handles on the mid 90's Explorers is spray some flat black spray can on a rag, then blot the rag with paint onto the door handle.
Good as new!
