peanut butter on trim?

**miguey** · 08-28-2011, 01:37 PM

has anybody ever put peanut butter on trim to make it bring back it shine?

I have heard & seen this but never tried it. Supposedly the peanut butter scrubs the spent surface and the oils bring the shine back. Sounds like basically polishing rubber without white residue compound would leave.
Problem is there is no longevity in shine. The rubber will still need to be cleaned after the peanut butter and treated.

I assume that would be smooth not chunky brand

I tried using it to remove dried on wax residue. While it mostly removed the wax it left a brown residue that was as hard to remove as the wax residue was. It was a textured black surface, might do better on a smooth surface. Since it`s the oils in the PB that are supposed to do the work maybe straight olive oil would work better. And it`s better for you.

I have used it on trim to remove the white residue. It does a good job and the oil beads water nicely the next few times the trim gets wet. After I spread the PB I let it sit for a few minutes and then wipe clean with a clean towel. I have not yet seen a brown film.

I think that you are confusing peanut butter with peanut oil. PO can be used to remove old wax with a tooth brush from trim. It will also make the trim shine up but that`s only a temporary

I would do anything to see a pro detailer pull a jar of Peter Pan out of his tool box with an applicator pad and go to town on a bumper pad in front of the client rofl.

Now the question is does peanut butter (free from any contamination) have any polishing capabilities

! What pad would you star with

?

Cut with crunchy and an orange or wool pad, finish with creamy and white or grey. Id go for Crisco as the lsp.

On a BMW site in the detail section, a detailer was posting that he used peanut oil on the trim of a Range Rover he was detailing. Needless to say, he caught some serious flack over it.

Some old school "tricks" are better left in the 80s. Peanut oil, Ajax, WD40, cheese cloth, aluminum foil & soda, etc. I don`t understand why some refuse to leave the stone age. That stuff never really worked well to begin with.
