Anyone any ideas I know you can only see it up close but when the car hasnt just been cleaned its really obvious.

Try wiping them with a de-greaser (meths or tar / glue remover).

This should remove all traces of grease or similar

Yep use that! Clean them first with car shampoo water and a scrubbing brush. Failing that tar remover. Nothing too harsh or it might turn white. Apply the tirm detailer with a microfibre cloth for a better finish

Make sure they are dry as a bone first! I found Autoglym does not always stick if another gel has been there before
