Cleaning black plastic

Found this idea on another thread about the peanut butter. Front bumper, hood hinges and door handles were turning white. Front bumber had water stains that would not come out. I checked out pantry and found a half used jar of peanut butter. Had a half inch of oil sitting on top of butter. Poured oil into an old spray paint can lid and took a soft rag used for polishing and waxing. Applied the oil with small tiny swirls to the front bumper with amazing results. Did this 3 months ago and checked it yesterday. Still looks like new. Reccomend plain peanut oil. Works great.

This won't work for those of us with allergies to Peanuts...
Sounds to me like what you are doing is replacing one stain with another more permanent stain.. Folks have recommended peanut butter, peanut oil, transmission fluid and olive oil.. all the same.. Create a stain that is worse than the original. I suppose in the end, it accomplishes the objective.

I don't like Back to Black. It seems that I had to reapply it every week on my 06. It got too expensive. I haven't had to use anything on my 11 yet but I am sure that will change.
On my Ford 350 I used Turtle Wax Ice Synthetic Liquid Polish on all the plastic and paint.

It is really that easy. This is how I keep my bumpers and fenders black.

Or for the love of god someone else could try the carsystems product I have been telling everyone about for the last year. Thousands of Chevy Avalanche owners will back my claim that this is the best product for faded stained plastic. PLEASE SOMEONE ELSE TRY IT.
