Aeems (as silly as it sounds) that the Peanut Butter trick actually works. Managed to get the trim in several areas a few weeks ago when I waxed the car, so I'll have to give the PB trick a shot.

Erm... skip the jelly? :smile:

If you think it sounds silly, don't call it peanut butter. Don't picture the Skippy lady when detailing your car. Call it peanut extract, or peanut paste. It's a fine car-care product that just happens to be made by Peter Pan, or Planters.

Also, a tip - pure peanut oil (i.e., the active ingredient) works even better, and is less messy to work with.

I use Griot's stuff ( http://www.griotsgarage.com ) and am very pleased with their "Vinyl & Rubber Dressing" for the wheel arches on my MCS. I apply the Vinyl & Rubber Dressing first, then wax the painted areas of the car.

Mother's Back to Black works okay, but 2 weeks later the wax is there. What worked great fo me was Rain-X. Rubbed it in well and the white was gone.
