I found it alright until it rained, then I got oily streaks and rainbows on the floor around the car :(

Probably got lost in the "Great Crash of 08

I used to use oil on my plastic trim for previous cars I owned. Always produced a fantastic, deep black look on plastic trim. Plus a little goes a long way!
