On initial application it appeared to go away on the first try but would show up a week later but not as bad as the previous. No special brand of peanut butter before any one asks. That was also when all these newer chemical removers were not around. I guess what I am trying to say "If you only have some trim with wax on it and you will only use the chemical remover once you may want to try the peanut butter".

    I wasn't as brave as you, so I PM'd about using peanut oil. Yeah, it works.

    I use Duragloss 301 on the black plastic cowl piece of my Mustang. It outperformed the Poorboys by a wide margin and offers some protection against products that stain.

    I'm not sure if this will work for stained trim, but it looks like it does for restoring it.
