I waxed my car for the first time and did not know it was a B#tch to get wax off our trim. A friend suggested peanut butter to clean it off. Anyone try this does it work? If so how long would i have to keep it on there?

 

try TRIM SHINE by stoner. sold at oreilys auto parts

 

Ill check it out but if peanut butter works i can just go in my kitchen.

i wouldnt imagine you would leave the peanut butter on, prob just rub/buff it in a bit and then wipe it off.....


EDIT: lmao.....the how to guide demonstrates how to do so with peanut butter, thats great

 

I did a google search but did not find that..
Thanks a bunch.

 

i found that out the hard way also lol..my fog light covers just keep going back to a light shade of white but it doesnt bother me much

 

Extremely helpful. Real asset to the community.

 

put peanut butter on it and let your dog lick it off.

DO IT

 

It doesn't help you now, but if you use a polymer-based polish instead of a wax, you can get it on the trim and it won't damage or discolor it. Longer-lasting, too.

 

Yea did this also when I first got the car. I just use armor all on it everytime it rains or when I wash it. Its a pain in the *** but it works

 

"The peanut oil found in peanut butter contains mild acids such as palmitic acid, oleic acid and linoleic acid that work to break down and remove the wax."

This is also why you can use peanut butter to remove sticky stuff from just about anything... Like if you stick a piece of gum on your car. Or you need to remove a sticker from it and all the sticker stuff. Or a sticker on a toy. Etc etc. The uses are endless, and it's totally safe and non-toxic for... well.. pretty much everything that isn't allergic to peanuts. Works like a charm, I use it every time.
