    Pricing a boat job

    Hi All, I am a college student who details as a hobby, however I have had people asking me about boat jobs.

    Opti-coat on MATTE finish

    textured plastic

    In my mothers car she has textured plastic that has some stains on it (theyre black might be the sole from the shoes as the plastic trim is at foot level) that I can't remove with household cleaners/brushes. Any technique/clue as to how to remove it? The texture of the plastic is preventing the...
