Peanut butter Vs. faded plastics

[Elonexx]

The grey plastics on the bumpers and door handles are looking abit tired on my k11,
I've seen that peanut butter has been recommended, but couldn't help thinking the new guy asking wasn't having the nick taken out of him lol
Does it really work? Before I go out and look like a tit XD

Cheers,

Yes mate, it does indeed work, its the oil in it that does the job, i use it all the time, just warm it up a bit in this weather else its a right pain to use

Cheers for the tip?
Would a heat gun be more effective or are they similar?

I have seen the heatgun trick done, but i am a bit dubious about using it on my trim, knowing my luck i would melt something, peanut butter is safer in my hands

Mines a facelift like yours, I think I'd get the paint too much to use a heatgun :/
Peanut butter it is, I like peanut butter

back to black from the pound shop works a treat

but i can't eat it while i work

Cheers even if the bumpers weren't black originally?

Make sure you get the spray cheap stuff thats like water the other gear stains alot

Ive used it on the preface black bumpers and tyres.

I'm sure you can get the grey stuff aswell

wouldnt reccomend it the black on the grey tho

Hope ive helped

I use flaxseed oil, darkens, shines and lasts months at a time.

The back to black is good... For 5 seconds.

Peanut butter, ten mins perfect awesome finish!

i use acrylic spray On the tyres too, gives them the new look. I use it on my interior plastics, gives them a shine!
