Forget the plastic/trim restorers! Use Peanut Butter!

With so many quality waxes out there that do NOT stain trim, why use products that require extra steps like re-taping after polishing so you can wax?

[RLucky82]

What about the scratches?
Scratches you say!
Yeah, from the dogs climbing on your hood to lick the cowl trim!

I'll stick to trim restorer products!
Part of doing it right is using the right tool or product for the job!

Then you step up to Crunchy PB pretty soon they will have 80 grit to 2000 grit crunch

I know there's another thread currently out there about a certain detailing product-line...
But I wonder if this PB would be the best brand for plastic/trim-detailing:

Choosy Detailers Choose JIF! Everyone knows this.

A white eraser works the best for removing wax from trim IMO and isn't messy

Really nice video.i want to ask you that how long does it have effect of detailing.

This topic is so old...


First, it's not the "peanut" part of peanut butter it's the vegetable oil in the peanut butter. The vegetable oil will darken faded plastic but it won't last to repeated exposure to rain or washing.

A product like Wolfgang Exterior Trim Sealant cures to the surface so it won't wash off and actually provides protection for the plastic unlike vegetable oil.

But hey... if it works for you I say go for it...

Beat me to it!

So many 'home remedies' involve a particular ingredient in a home product and a lot of wasted time and mess. But if people thought analytically, and took the time to wonder 'why' it works; they'd find out!

When they have it in a commemorative wood jar with gold trim that locks and one free refill if I ship the box back; let me know.

I don't even like the smell... imagine getting whiff on a sunny day with the windows down... gag

If one can smell it, they have put it down WAY to thick and didn't wipe if off when they finished.

When I used this little trick, I'd just put a VERY small ammount on a tooth brush and work it over the trim spot. Once the wax was gone, I'd wipe it away with a rag. Nothing was left behind but clean trim.

Hmm... I am trying to remember if Meguiar's Ultimate Wax stains trim... Don't remember...

To answer your question...

According the front of the box on Meguiar's Ultimate Liquid Wax, it doesn't stain trim.

Both the liquid and the paste...both boxes say they are sun friendly and can be used in full sun.

However, Meg's Ultimate Paste Wax says nothing on the box about staining trim.

Does this mean the paste wax will stain, or it will not stain? I can't say because I've never used either product. I'm just telling you what is on the front of each box. (Please, before your respond to the above, go to Wal-Mart and check what each box says and you will see that what I'm telling you is correct. I know this because after reading an article by VPMark on this forum and I was prompted to go and look for myself, and I've looked numerous times to double check. At first I was under the assumption that both were trim friendly. Now I'm not so certain after pay close attention to the wording on each box.)

I have a hunch that the paste wax might stain trim, but have not heard, nor seen in writing, a definite answer to this inquiry. That said, you might do some research of your own to find out more and you might simply take precaustions of not getting too close to the trim with the MUPW product, or better yet, call Meguiar's and find out from them.

I have heard many folks, on this forum and others, say that there are certain waxes/sealants that will not stain trim. My thought is; Perhaps not immediately these products may not stain trim, but what about over time? I've never heard any sort of discussion about this either and I think, at least with a few products, it's worthy of a discussion.
