Peanutbutter Rocks!

Yesterday I gathered all the car care clues Ive picked up on this forum, and an accumulation of tools you've suggested. Then,

I peanut buttered.
I dawned.
I clayed.
I shampooed.
I touched up.
I zainoed, and zainoed,
and aerospace 303'ed and zainoed, and zainoed...
you get the picture.

All of the products were impressive, but the most impressive by far was the PEANUTBUTTER! It was awesome! I just wish I had discovered NAM and taken your advice sooner!

Only problem is that the towels I use on my MINI are better than the ones I use on me. Time to do something about that!!

I PB'ed FIRST THING. I was figured the Dawn was would remove the PB residue better than the car shampoo. I didn't need it after the detailing -- I was much more careful this time!

Supposedly the peanut oil in the peanut butter is what eats the "white" off of the wheel arches. Of course you could use peanut oil in place of peanut butter, but more households already have peanut butter in their cupboards.
