Default Olive oil?

I read somewhere that olive oil can be used as a polish on our cars, and that it produces a nice shine. Is there any truth to this, or more of a myth?

Well sure you COULD use it but it isn't the best thing for paint. It will shine well since it's oil but oil attracts dirt and other contaminants and it would be a B**** to wash it off. Stick to wax or polish. I wish it were as easy as slopping olive oil all over the car. But then the car would look all oiled up like <img border="0" alt="[rainbow]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_rainbow.gif" /> Richard Simmons! <img border="0" alt="[bang head]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_banghead.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[barf]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_barf.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_images/icons/tongue.gif" />

Get some olive oil on your calipers and brake pads and <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" />

Just pick up some Meguires or some Zaino <img border="0" alt="[evil]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_devil.gif" /> if your warped like the rest of us!
