Yep,

Cheapest: Pencil rubber
Messiest: Peanut butter
My new fav: Olive oil, a very tiny blob on a micro fibre seems to work, leaves a nice finish and is eco friendly. :)

Olive oil, at what point when you were routing though your kitchen cupboard did you go....' you know what, i might try this on the car,.... yer seems viscous enough to remove overlapped polish and ill bet it leaves a cilit bang shine!!' what other little gems of information, car cleaning wise, do you have locked away?

off topic but since you ask, bit of Jif (Lemon juice) on the wiper blade does wonders. Cleans them up at treat and stops the squeaking/judder. :D

I use Autoglym bumper care to clean all my plastic bits, also removes polish very well.

Did this a couple of weeks ago, with a bit of patience, does a great job on the fiddly grille.

carry a bottle of coke with you - when you run out of washer fluid use that on the windscreen - you'll never have thought how good it works as a glass cleaner and during the winter will also keep the dirt away for a few miles.....
