I recently saw in Discovery Turbo a tip for very weathered/faded black/plastic rubber trim which is to rub peanut butter (the creamy variety and NEVER the chunky one!!!) to the trim and rub it off after a minute or so...
VOILA!!!!!
Beautiful black rubber/plastic trim in matte finish unlike Armor-All its ilk where the finish is shiny. My beloved Opel Astra G Estate's +1M points better looking now... Peanut butter consumption?? I purchased the smallest bottle of the Lily's Creamy Peanut Butter and I only used up a fourth of it... Imagine, where can you use such a thing where you can use it to blacken your rubber trim and for sandwiches at the same time??? Grin
There are a few things that I have to observe though. 1) Will the finish last only until the next wash? 2) If not, how long will it last before I have to apply another coat of peanut butter? 3) Will I have stowaways in my car (think ants... YIKES!!!!!!!!!), dogs licking or worse, gnawing at my rubber trim???
