Re: How to clean up black plastic trim?
Thanks to you all for the comments and suggestions. Good to know that I can either spend a fortune on a specialist product that doesn't have a lasting effect or get a spread made from a legume from the supermarket! Fascinating video showing an alternative use for peanut butter.
Note for Dave (Db n j) - the plastic isn't painted, it's coloured black all the way through.
So, off to the shops for boot polish, more WD40 and some peanut butter!

Re: How to clean up black plastic trim?
My car cleaning kit now includes a small jar of smooth peanut butter! I tried it in mid February and the results were startling. I wish I'd had the presence of mind to take "before" and "after" photos because the improvement is quite spectacular.
I discussed it with the owner of a local car body shop repairer and he told me that he'd heard about it but never tried it.
So if if anyone was wondering about its effectiveness I, for one, can vouch for it.

Re: How to clean up black plastic trim?
That's great but clearly we now need to know which peanut butter is best. Natural or organic?

Re: How to clean up black plastic trim?
I can vouch for the boot polish trick, I had the pleasure of chatting to an old school chauffeur who whilst regaling various stories, told of his down time waiting for his passenger to return from their appointments etc. he had to clean or polish the car and he used black boot polish on the bumpers etc,he reckoned he always had a tin with a brush for application and a cloth to buff and a pair of marigold gloves in the boot so if the chap came back earlier than expected he didn't have to wash his hands.
