I was in the middle of detailing my MINI and came out of the garage, grabbed a jar of peanut butter, spoke at length to my wife about something unrelated and then returned to the garage - jar of peanut butter in hand. She said nothing about the jar. I used the peanut butter to successfully remove wax residue from the plastic trim. When I was done I returned, jar of peanut butter in hand, to the house and spoke again to my wife and she watched as I returned the jar to the cupboard. At no time did she ask why I took a jar of peanut butter with me to the garage or what I did with it.
Does this mean that she has officially accepted my MINI obsession to the point where now nothing arouses her curiosity?

Not married, but I think there comes a time when they just stop asking. Applys to members of opposite gender.

AS long as she still "sleeps" with you, I wouldn't worry......seems normal to me
BTW..... you may know this but do a good job with the clean up and cover the trash....rats love peanut butter

She should have asked why you didn't use olive oil (works good on sticky stuff). And I hope it wasn't chunky.
Oh wait.... count your blessings.

I've found that a Mr. Clean Eraser works really well on trim and raises fewer eyebrows... I'm guessing she either didn't notice the PB or she thought you were having a snack...
As long as we're on this thread... is there really anything special about peanut, or do all veg oils work as well? I used plain old supermarket cooking oil, and it seemed to do a good job. Just curious.
Yes, I can confirm that it is just the oil in the peanut butter that is working.
I always thought the reason to use peanut butter is so you can have your dog finish the detailing job of removing wax from your plastic trim.

I always use peanut butter as the bait in mousetraps, pretty succesful too. You don't want to leave that smell around if there could be rodents about...

I learned something tonight, now I can go to sleep.

Someone else told me about the peanut butter "trick". I use a polymer instead of a wax, and need to get rid of the white residue that extended over to the black arches. Will the peanut butter work on this?

I cleaned up my Meguairs NXT with Peanut butter. I bought a cleaner from meguairs for $8 and figured what the heck...peanut butter is cheap. it works GREAT!! I used smooth and rubbed it in so the paste acted like an abrasive. No more wax residue!!!
Better yet, no more $8 cleaner sitting around for 10 years.
Thanks,

I gave Austin his peanut butter spa treatment today to remove the white streaks from the Banana Gloss. Guess I could have tried vegetable oil, but veggies with bananas doesn't sound as good as peanut butter with bananas. Mmmm!!!!
