Thanks for the comments. I think that's what No4 says, Ruby, but it's good to know it actually works! I haven't tried that one.

You can also use creamy peanut butter to remove stubborn wax stains on your car's rubber or non-painted plastic surfaces by applying a little creamy peanut butter to the stain with a soft toothbrush. Peanut butter's oils dissolve the wax and it's just sticky & abrasive enough to lift the stain.

My dog absolutely loves peanut butter!! She freaks out and jumps all-around every time she sees us taking it out of the cupboard. I didn't know peanut butter will take away the smell of fish throughout the house after it has been fried. Great advice and it will definitely come in handy the next time I sauté shrimp and sea bass.
