Peanut Butter Bumpers

After hearing it mentioned on here ages ago about how peanut butter can bring the black back to bumpers, in a moment of complete boredom I grabbed a cheap jar of peanut butter from the fridge and decided to have a go.

Not knowing whether it was a wind up or not, I couldn't find many people who had tried it, I applied some with a cloth to a very faded front bumper and almost immediately the bumper went a very dark grey. Within 20 minutes both bumpers and trim had been done and were back to a very dark grey/black. Was incredibly impressed with just how easy it was, a quick rub on and then a rub off with some cloth, and the result almost looks like new.

So thanks to who ever suggested it, the only problem is the neighbours kids now think I'm wierd so no real change there and a faint smell of peanut. Also does anyone know how long it lasts?

Peanut butter was wierd enough, using baby oil on a car just wouldn't feel right!

The local cats seem to have taken a liking to the peanut butter as well, no dogs yet though.

I think you may have miss read things? It's usually mentioned and used in reference to removing polish residue from black plastics/trim before applying dressings - not as the dressing itself. Much like pencil erasers, strong solutions of apc and even urine (apparently).

I don't know, but it seemed to work and the results have held up through yesterdays rain, so i'm happy. At the end of the day it's a 13 year old car and there's no point spending money on it.
