To preserve guacamole. Place guacamole in container. Cover with plastic wrap. Ensure the plastic wrap is covered directly against the guacamole, and there are no air pockets (air is what turns guacamole that unappealing greyish brown colour). Basically, seal it so no air comes in contact with the guacamole. Refrigerate.
