Q ref bubble wrap on trivets

This isn't photography related, strictly, but does concern a product that is sold via SmugMug about which I have a Q -- the trivets via SM are great, popular and well done. But after a period, the bubblewrap enclosing them [from EZPrints, tho there's no place on its site to ask this Q] seems to end up leaving little round circles on the surface of the trivet if the wrap stays on it for a bit. I have tried Windex etc. to remove them without success --- any ideas of how to get the trivets back to their original 'unmarked' look? Any suggestions for other nondestructive solvent? Thanks.

    Can you take a snapshot of it and post the picture so we can see?

    I've never tried this on a photo, but a little bit of WD-40 seems to work like magic on almost anything.

    Edit: This is not an official recommendation and should be done with caution. Make sure to try it on a small section before using it on the full print. SmugMug does NOT recommend using WD-40 to clean prints but it may work in some cases.

    Thanks for the suggestion
    They are VERY faint -- I can attach a pic but it's not picking up the imperfection well enough - I do think the 40D idea is a pretty good idea...the actual packaging of the trivets is inside the bubblewrap with the bubbles outside, but this concerns a few which were repackaged with bubbles touching the surface = I'll try the 40D and report back....

    Reporting back -- the WD40 works great -- cleans up smudgets and the little hole things = thanks for the idea...I honestly never thought of it before!

    Awesome! That's so cool. Here is a list of 45 other things WD-40 can do that you might not be aware of.
