That piece of trim is faded on mine too as it also was on my TD6. On that I used an old bottle of silicone based tyre gel (which I'd never really used on tyres) and it came up a treat.

Yep peanut butter works amazingly well. I have also seen people use heatguns (carefully) on the plastic and that also seems to bring it back to a fresher newer look too. Tom

Peanut butter is sticky, but ground nut oil just soaks in really easily.

Gotta love that network latency. Presumably a blue site if using Metro ?

Yep, I've used peanut oil (must be the smooth one though) and does appear to work, I used it on the black trim at the base of the windscreen/around the windscreen wipers (and also on the A and D columns). Its like any other product though - doesn't last too long and you need to put it on regularly (in my experience) . Steve
