    Don't use the peanut butter, it's not a permanent fix.

    Cleaning it with APC as I already suggested. I know there's no talking to you peanut butter guys, I've had this argument before. Putting peanut butter on it is just like going over it with Black Wow, you're just hiding it under oil.

    Yeah, I guess, I've never used that on trim, check it first on an inconspicuous spot.
