Shiny car trim help

[CaptainChaos]

So there is I was in my "new" (to me anyway) car & the grey trim around the wheel arches looked a bit too faded for my liking.

Looked online for best stuff to make the trim shine like a shiny thing in shinyville, and what did I use to get the best ever result?

No - Not Turtle Wax Trim Shiner, no not Simoniz whatever it's called .....

Smooth Peanut Butter

Yeah - seriously - that stuff has brought the wheel arch trims & all around the edges of the car up a real treat, so don't buy the £14.99 bottle of Trim Shine stuff - get a 59p bottle of smooth peanut butter & you're good to go!!!

[Q]

I daren't ask how you found out

[Ron]

Do you get monkeys following you though?

[Q]

I suppose you use Marmite on your tyres

 What on earth made you even try that CaptainChaos...you know you are bonkers mad, don't you

Tbh the best way is a heat gun as it lasts

[CaptainChaos]

I tried monkey jizz, but that was no good at all - it left lots of unpleasant streaks all over the place.

I'll try bananas on the windscreen to see if that is any good next.

Q- I just searched for the best trim cleaner, and a few people online came up with peanut butter!

No harm in trying, so I did, and it was brilliant!

I'll try some on my wife, see if she stops looking so faded

[CaptainChaos]

decoy - me with a heat gun/blowtorch?

Best not ....

You do realise that your wife joined the forum yesterday dont you

[CaptainChaos]

It's ok - her English isn't brilliant so I could explain that away EASILY teeheehee

[CaptainChaos]

Marmite isn't "black" enough, Q - you should know that!!!

I could try Ribena on the brake lights I suppose

true lol
its an old valating trick i lernt it on corsa b,s its worth a try at some point as it lasts a cupple of years but ffs dont use a blow torch 
other stuff worth looking at is freckler buffing paste g3(t cut gone mad),3m hand glaze(awsome pre polish)

Peanut butter is well known in detailing circles as an effective trim restorer, might not last too long though. It's like the ego of trim restorers

I have one or two car care products

[CaptainChaos]

Can I give you my address for some wax, Greg - I need to make the car SHINE!

Is it a corsa?
