After Reading about it from here when I first joined I finally got round to trying it last night.

So armed with a tub of Asda's smart price peanut butter and a microfibre cloth I went to work on the polished stained black trim.

It works theirs now a place for peanut butter in the cupboard

After just looking at it how do people eat this stuff. The only place it should be spread is on the car.

Do not diss peanut butter! That stuff is awesome

Peanut butter FTW

I've heard it works, how durable is it?

Not bad on toast either:rofl:

Try the two step-process:

put on peanut butter

get the pooch to lick it off

Try the two step-process:

And yes it will get all the local dogs licking

smooth or chunky?

Put it on where exactly?

Put it on where exactly?

seriously? someone I knew of put some on his balding patches - pooch licked it while he watched TV - in about3 weeks he started to grow hair again.

Woof woof!!

Also great at removing chewing gum

We used to use cheap margarine for bringing up black trim, which is did very well. Cost less then peanut butter did back then (talking about 18 odd years ago) but now with own brand stuff being so cheap, peanut butter is the dog's danglies.

smooth or chunky?

I used chunky as it was the cheapest

at the pooch comments

:eek:

I tried both smooth peanut butter and groundnut oil on a microfibre cloth and it does make the black side-strips look really good, but only for a few weeks :thumbdwn:

Wardy has recommended Megs vinyl cleaner and Megs trim detailer (cost a bit more than peanut butter LOL) so going to give those a go when my car's back on the road.

Will have to let us know how long the Meg lasts.

I used Megs trim detailer on a previuos car I found it streaked. Use Black Wow now, much better and durable.

My VRS whatever i uses, peanut butter, ground nut oil, autoglym, admitably didnt try black wow which is meant to be amazing, but i actually went round with hot air gun and it vastly improved and still lasts 6 months on, it was like new again.

I have through laziness got some polish marks on again now, but wouldnt do it again because of fear of making it too brittle

Heat gun to restore Black plastic trim - Detailing World

this show I did it in October last year, had at least one wash a month, probbaly more, and they are still black, only marks are polish marks from me being lazy as I said!

I have done the whole lot now, not sure I would do it again on this car, as I know in theory it should make the plastic more brittle, but it seems the same when you push on it etc lol, I have pushed push bike into it by accident and didnt snap any

Just found a website which lists 3,484 uses for peanut butter...

The Bare-Bones version of 2000 Uses for Peanut Butter

Some people just have too much time on their hands!

I like it with Jam and cheese on toast... not tried it on my trim yet!

This is just plain weird! Surely any kind of oil-based oily thing will do the same job? presume it's the oil in the peanuts that does it?

Yeah ive noticed that with the megs very annoying, where did you get the black wow from mate? Cheers.
