correct. it works. the reason peanut butter works is because of the oils in the peanut butter. I've personally used Lemon oil (same stuff used for polishing wood furniture) and it also restores faded carbon fiber.
Keep in mind though, that while this DOES work, it is only a temporary solution. You'll have to keep reapplying it, or if you want to permanently fix, you'll need to have it recleared. for a duckbill though, it may just be cheaper to buy a new one.

Well the duckbill was on the hatch when we made our trade, so i'm not gonna go and drop what $100 or more dollars on a part that i already have! i think that first off i'll see what can be done to get the fading out before i just throw around money that i don't have at this moment while being in college
