Another out of spec detailing video: heavy stain removal from stainless steel

[Crissa]

The problem with using water to rinse off the BKF, is that it will run down on (and potentially stain) the black plastic. You can't prevent this by masking it off. You can prevent this with one strip of masking tape on each fender if you are doing the windex method.

it does take several passes with new rags each time to remove the bkf, but I'm unwilling to stain my plastic (it came delivered with stains on the rocker panels, likely from bkf+water), and I do not want that to happen again once they replace them. No matter how much water you use, even if you assume you will wash the truck, bkf, rinse, dry, waterless wash to remove the streaks... you cannot know for sure that you won't stain your rockers because "rinse" isn't controlled enough to know exactly how much bkf will run down on your plastic and sit there.

Bar Keeper's Friend won't damage the plastic while it's being hosed off. Just make sure to either mop up or flood the drips and don't let them sit.
