Tip: If your mini has a bleeding/crying problem with cosmoline, I have a very easy to clean the mess up with no residing stains. Windex glass cleaner does the trick with no harmful side effects.

Found my mini the other day after long runs in 105 degree weather was bleeding cosmoline all of the place. Had the windex bottle nearby after cleaning the windows and gave it a try. Clean the stuff right off the all the black trim in seconds with residing trailing marks. The black trim looks new again. Hit a couple body spots also with no issues.

Took minutes For once, something easy on a MINI

 

The fact that you got to the streaks so quickly probably has as much to do with it as the cleaner you chose. Glad to hear the protectance came off so easily!
