So after 8 days, the peanut butter looks really bad, the olive oil does not look that bad. It is similar to the Maguire's Ultimate black. The Armor All is gone and is equal to the untreated parts of the fenders. The turtle wax Plastic trim restorer really does look the best.

I'll let it go another week and take some more photos.
After 19 days, The clear winner is the Turtle Wax Plastic Restorer. In a distant second is the Maguire's Ultimate black. The olive oil, peanut butter, and Armor All are just a waste of money, and time.

^ This. Lasts a long time, long.....lonnnng time. No after effects. Use it on metal, plastic, inside and out.
I've tried peanut butter to get wax off the flares and it works great as well, rub it on, let it sit for awhile, rub it off.
I'm wondering about using just plain peanut oil..

Im wondering why some would choose to use all these different products that will only last a few weeks and need to be applied again. Rather than using a product that only needs to be applied once every 2+ years?

Default Second round

I'd like to try the 303 aerospace, the ice product, and wipe new. I tried some of the cheaper products first.
