If that person is a friend, they would've taken responsibility for the damage. Sounds sort of like he just had a bunch of girls in the car.

Wow, that looks an awful lot like Monica's dress!

If you can match the paint color, you may be able to remove the trim piece, mask it carefully, and respray. But I suspect the only way you'll get a perfect rapair is to replace the trim piece.

This is exactly what I was thinking.

If it doesn't come off with a mild detergent, then you may have no choice but to replace that panel. At least that's all it was. I was thinking you wrecked your car by reading the title of your thread.

On the bright side, at least your car was full of women and not dudes.

I think you should bring it back to the dealer and complain that the plate is defective. How can perfume make such a big mess? Maybe they will be kind enough and replace it under warranty. With the stained plate, the dealer might send it back to the manufacturer and let the engineers reexamine it. Hopefully they will make it perfume proof in the future.

It's funny reading this thread about all the alternative ideas of the stain. I wonder how would love stain look like. Anyone have a picture to share.
