(Ex) Black Plastic Trim - How To Get It Black Again ?
Discussion
Peanut butter works, but it is a bit of an Americanism, and by that, i see loads of Americans harp on about one specific product that is the world's best at something, as if it contains some mythical ingredients that it has the sole rights to.
Peanut butter works as it's loaded with oil, and any oil will do the same, so just get something oily if you can't get PB.
If it's a removable trim, then the easiest way is spray it black with satin black, and that will last for years maintenance free.
You could still mask it up and paint it, and it won't leave marks on your jeans if you brush past it. For the hassle of a bit of masking, and the fact you'll avoid 2 weeks of being in the dog house when the missus's favorite skirt is oiled, it's easily the best option!

forget shoe polish-try scuff-remover instead,a couple of quid from morrisons etc.comes with sponge applicator,lasts for months.
I've a fair few Mk2 Golf GTI's and they all come with plastic bumpers and wheel arches - this is by far and away the best, most long lasting method I found. It's the liquid stuff you get in plastic bottles with the little sponge on the top. Less than £1 from wilkinsons! A couple of bottles should do the whole car.Gassing Station | Bodywork & Detailing | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
