Yup I smeared some peanut butter on the b-pillars and left them for about 5 mins.

Before

During

After

And Again

Finger licking good work if you ask me. The pics don't really do it justice. The pillers were quite chalky before.

I'm gonna try the wing mirror bases now and I'll let you know how they end up.

what type of peanut butter did you use?

I wonder what the active ingredient is - the peanut or the butter ?!

smooth or chunky?

The oil i imagine.Sunflower oil could do the same maybe?

"Smooth American Style Peanut Butter" from Tesco.

Ahh, renowned for its polishing & reviving qualities that variety is.......a king amongst peanut butters

How many of us are planning on buying some before the days out??

I know I sure am,

Looks really good Daithti.

Mmm... peanut butter... (Homer Style)

...Well I just tried a Meguiar's wax sandwich and it was foul

I normally use autoglym bumper care on my pillars, it does a great job.

The autoglym stuff smells better too, as I hate peanut butter.

What made you think 'I know i'll put peanut butter on my b pillars?'

What ever it was its come out lovely

You'll have to put a disclaimer on your car door now warning people " may contain traces of nuts"!

On the plus side, if any scrote tries to nick it who has a nut allergy, you'll probably find him on the floor in the morning post anaphylactic shock!

Back on topic, I wish I could find a way of getting in the tight crevices of the pillar badge with cleaner! Everything I try leaves just that bit too much residue in there.

I imagine you'd be there for hours picking out the lumps if you'd not used smooth peanut butter though!

works really well on plastic too!!!

I'm doing a spare set of B Pillars in gloss black at the moment to see how it looks, just don't tell Alan!

Gareth

You're nuts!

I remember reading years ago about people putting peanut butter on their plastic bumpers to restore them (in the days before colour-coded bumpers obviously). Thought it was worth a try. I did my wing mirrors too and they came up a treat

haha! i still think people are mad for doing it, it has been talked about alot on detailing world. I still cant bring my self round to trying it! Damn nutters!

I bought some smooth "Sun-Pat" peanut butter last night and made a quick sarnie outta it to test it's consistency.

It past with flying colours!!

As soon as I get home it'll be nutty B-pillars all the way!!

Might not be the best idea Karlos. If i'm right in thinking, you want a 'natural' peanut butter. These are easily identified because the peanut oil seperates from the peanuts giving you a 3/4 tub full of peanut smoothie, and 1/4 pure peanut oil.

On this note, has anyone just tried using peanut oil from a bottle?

Where would one find peanut oil?

Never knew it to be available as a bottled oil

Should be in the same aisle as the sunflower/olive oil i think.

Peanut Oil

Oh, right, I see.

High in mono-unsaturates though

Chinese supermarket. Groundnut oil as it's called is the only one for good stir fries. Tescos et al very often don't stock it - bit bazaar.

hate to jump in...

but boot polish works a treat too!

normal cooking oil works on trim so iv been told
makes it look new

SPOTTED
Baile an Ghearlanaigh, Eire.
On the bypass being followed by thirty stray dogs !!

The neighbours cat was showing some interest in the car whilst I was buttering up the b-posts alright!
