Default Try this it works on ur plastic

i'm sure this has been talked about before, but i'm also sure alot of people haven't heard it. i have noticed a good amount of people complaining about their exterior plastic pieces looking old and gray. applying a small amount/very very thin layer of CREAMY peanut butter to them, letting it set for a few, then cleaning off the peanut butter will make the plastic look very nice. don't know if its the oil or what, but it works and stays nice looking for a long time. i was a critic until i tried it.

peanut butter has oil in it. just spread oil on it for the same effect. I would imagine peanut oil?

I googled it and found these.
I've been using peanutbutter to take the wax residue off my black trim since I had my first car. It works wonders.
I had a big problem with armorall stains/white film on all my plastic bumper parts. Also my front grill(stock)all the black plastic had a faded look/gasie film to it. I found a thread about taking wax off of plastic and someone had brought up PEANUT BUTTER as a solution to the problem. Well let me tell ya IT WORKS. I used the peanut butter on all my plastic parts and they look like brandnew. I couldn't beleave it. All the white film came off everthing. You've got to try this. The bigest improvement is the front grill. I also used it on the side mirrors as well. The only problem is the dog keeps wanting to lick the truck but other than that

Hah. I'm going to try this.
For those of who who do not wish to buy the back to black to get rid of the wax on black trim here is a simple solution. Peanut butter. I kid you not. Take a little peanut butter spread it where the wax residue is and wipe off with a paper towel. presto the wax is gone. i didnt believe it either till i tried it.

I was pretty sure I had heard it all. Evidently, I was wrong.

I have a bunch of crappy gray trim on my Trailblazer that is gonna smell nutty sooner rather than later.

It's going to get me some funny looks at the carwash though.

I love Back to Black for exterior trim, but on the windshield cowl, it never looks right. It always ends up spotted, and grey. Anybody else have this problem? I might have to try to the peanut butter.

this has been a tirck for a long time..

as for the reason to use peanut butter instead of peanut oil .. PB is much easier to apply, and isn't going to run onto your paint ..

I can't stand Mother's back to black. I think it is one of the worst products Mother's makes .. ..

303 Aerospace is what I use...

the only problem with using the oil is u will get a really inconsistant look, some places will be much cleaner/shinny. trust me and just try plain ole PB
