Desperately need to wash my bike after a fortnight of winter commuting!
Waiting for a break in the rain to do that today but in the meantime I thought I would "restore" my rather sun-bleached aitbox covers.
Seems the bike was either stored/parked out in the sun one way or has had a new right hand side cover as one was fine the other was grey!
After reading about the marvels of peanut butter....... I gave it a whirl! I washed both sides in my usual wash mcguires gold class.
Then rubbed the faded one with peanut butter. I was sceptical at first but its as good as any back-to-black I have tried before!
This is after a wash down with washing up liquid to get rid of the peanut butter etc. Its left odorless and greaseless with a nice OEM style matt black finish. This was only a quick attempt with little effort made to do the whole piece properly as the missis is in the house and I didn't really fancy explaining why I am toothbrushing my bike panels with peanut butter on my day off...
But yeah looks like I might do them properly with it!
