Stained shadow line

Hey guys,

When I picked up my car (with the M package - hence the black shadow line trim) I noticed that there where stains on the shadow line trim. It looks like it's from some sort of over spray (some kind of greaser - tire, rubber molding perhaps???). I've washed my car, a few times now, and the stains are still there. My question is,

1) can the stains be removed, if not - I guess the only thing to do is to ask the dealership to replace the trim????

2) if the stain can be removed - with what?

Thanks

I have the same issue. They weren't there originally, but I have the dreaded stains now. I've washed mine as well, but no luck getting them off.

Here it is. It's actually a sticky in Detailing / Washing / Waxing / Cosmetic Maintenance.
