Peanut Butter

[NathanSRi]

Hey Guys,
today i got some peanut butter as it has been recommended to me that it works for restoring colour to bumpers, and it does!
I even used it on the spoiler and SR vinyl :)

Then I got some nail varnish remover and got the tint off the top part of the lights, looks miles beter IMO:

I'm going to respray the side vinyl Matt Black :thumb:
Front bumper hasn't been done, the bottom is ok but the paint is coming off the top part, so I might need a new bumper.

But i'm well pleased with the results :D
Cheers

waits for Ade to see this thread! He was showing everyone at PVS about his peanut butter find!!

[muzzy]

Thanks for that, the folk on my local site thought i was mental so ive proved them wrong with these pictures lol

Who needs Auto Glym when you have Smart Price?

[Ste L]

smooth or crunchy?
sunpat or shop's own brand?

lol

[Spudly]

I just thought, shouldnt you have a warning sticker on your car as you could have someone who is allergic to nuts walk past and brush your car then die of stupidity (oops i mean allergic reaction obviously lol)

[ade]

lol lol lol AND MORE lol

The wonderful power of peanut butter.

Smooth FTW - any brand FTW - avoid the "organic" variety- too ponsey!

We shoud get some png stickets made up (peanut nova club) - do not lick my bumper - contains nuts!

damn it, i knew i should of listened to you lol

wish i had done that to my skirts now instead of spraying them.

[Novasport]

Green Swarfega and a scrubbing brush is best I found then finish off with some Autoglym Bumper Care

lol

[Spudly]

I wouldve thought it would be fairly long lasting but tbh ive always found you need to redo them at least once or twice a month to keep em mint so id guess about the same for this method?

Im a clean freak usually so i do mine with bumper gel but as often as i can lol

[Tim-SR]

ahhh ok then so about the same as the bumper gel stuff?

[Spudly]

Yeah id say so but tbh you wanna be asking ade really cos he does his like this regularly whereas ive never tried it!

[Tim-SR]

get your bumpers done then dude and get the CYA mobile looking ace lol

it was dark and i didnt get a propper look round your car :( lol

[dj_wudgey]

the power off peanut butter eh lol yea i agree with sud though you need a health warning on it for people alergic to nuts lol sr looks good though mate!

[ade]

depending on the weather and how often you drive the car it'll last at least a month (I wash mine once a month and peanut butter once a month) - the oils in the spread help repel water and grime. if you give them a deep clean and really polish them up it can last longer.

TBH Ive found it lasts just as long as any chemical based cleaner.
But I've saved an absolute bomb in both money and space...

[valvercorsa]

there is another method you can do............ heat the bumper's with an air gun they come up loverly but be careful you dont melt them lol. i did it on my corsa stopped like new for ages still have to do the odd buffing with bumper care but looks nice.

im trying the peanut butter first but if i dont get it how i want it this will be what i do!!

[valvercorsa]

peanut butter works but go to a shop where you can buy oil of peanut :) thats all that makes ya bumpers shine. :)

so its the oil in it yea?? i may have problems with my dogs on my bumpers though when ive done this lol

[jimwantsone]

awesome! cooking oil does a similar thing. attracts dust though!

[dj_wudgey]

yea even the back to black i used still does!!

but if your thinking you may need a new bumper get intouch with duick wile some are left as i will be buying another front and a rear this year if he does the parts run!!
