This question came to me this evening as I found myself rubbing peanut oil from my kitchen into the trim of my fancy German sports car.

Haven't tried it myself, but it supposedly removes any white wax residue from the black mouldings on the side of the sedans and wagons.

WHY?

Polyester strands, belt buckles, zippers...etc may all cause microscopic scratches when you rub against your car as you wax. Read this on Griot's Garage's website and they suggest, to avoid scratching up your car, to wash and wax in the NUDE.
Tried it once. Was a little too "uncomfortable" for me and the end result was marginal at best.
I also wash my car at night now with the flood lights turned on. Get really strange stares from my neighbors.

I wouldn't want to get wax in some "sensitive" areasDo they also suggest to shave your whole body as to not scratch the car with hairs?
Why can't you just not rub up against your car. :dunno:
