faded wheel arch trim and bumpers

[local nick]

aye up. nice day today so i decided to mint me van up. give it a good wash g3d it and brought it back with autoglem. this made the plastic trim look even more faded so instead of smothering them in silicone based crap ie back to black, i had a tip from a mate whose into veleting and useing a rag rubbed generous amounts of crunchy peanut butter into them and f*** me they come up like new no stickyness no nowt. neighbours looked at me a bit daft like. try it see what you think.
