Here's something I posted before 2009, not sure when but I know I posted the below to the MOL forum and I came to AGO in 2009 so that's at least 5 years ago and probably longer.
The Peanut Butter trick is actually a trick that misses the mark...
Somehow, somewhere, someway someone posted about using Peanut Butter to remove polish and wax residue and the post spread from there...
it continues to this day.
Here's the skinny...
If you have an open jar of peanut butter that's been used, usually you'll see some
clear liquid pooling on the top of the peanut butter, this is
vegetable oil.
It's the
vegetable oil in the peanut butter that helps to break-up and dissolve polish and wax residue and also turn faded trim a darker color which will also act to mask the problem.
I guess the point is instead of using peanut butter which only has a LITTLE bit of vegetable oil why not just use vegetable oil? If you have peanut butter in your pantry chances are pretty good you have something like Crisco or Wesson oil.
If I had a jar of peanut butter for every time I've posted the reason why peanut butter is used to remove polish and wax residue I would have a pantry full of peanut butter...
Here's an old home-remedy for removing gum out of hair, which is a problem that sometimes happens to little kid, or how to get chewing gum out of carpet which is a problem usually caused by little kids, take and work some
vegetable oil into the gum and it will act to dissolve it so instead of being a difficult, medium to remove it will break-up and then can be pulled out of or off of whatever it's stuck too...
