Peanutbutter thought I'd give it a go

After t cutting and waxing the car the plastics were looking tired I have tried many products but non have ever made the door handles look good or the panel under the windscreen which is a light grey in colour due to severe sun fading so I thought I'd give the smooth peanut butter a go to say I was amazed by the results is an understatement the handles look brand new all the plastics look top and the windscreen panel is now nice and black, swmbo thought I was nuts but I'm very happy with the results not sure how long it will last but

The scuttle panel won't stay black for long, the only remedy is to replace it.

And, it's handy if you get peckish while your doing it, just take some bread out with you... Very Happy Wink

On a serious note, what do you guys use on tire walls? I'm guessing you'd get residue in the nooks and crannys if you used SunPat?!

I reckon that would be a better use for Vegemite than spreading it on toast. Laughing

(Even after living over here for nearly a decade, Marmite is still the favourite)

Any oil based product will give a temporary difference in appearance but it will be short lived and is not a great finish. There are much better products available for plastic trims.
