    Rouge and a buffing wheel will solve your problem.

    The "white stuff" is only dried plastic. You can use a sharp blade and scrape it off if you like......really not necessary, and the some nail polish remover, aka acetone, on a q-tip painted on will give you a shine like brand new.
    After two or three min of dry time and its ready to go out the door.

    One of the many uses of a PD stick is for scraping the white stuff off of temples!
