Anyone know what the best stuff to use to clean the factory fenders and bumpers? I scrub them with soap an water but once it dries they still look dirty. And what's the best rag to use when washing the soft top windows am not get scratches in it?
I use natural finish Armoral. Works great. What's in it that's bad for the jeep?
Just don't want to mess up my jeep. A 100% cotton soapy towel works good on the plastic windows. Just wash and rinse. Don't scrub on them with any thing.
I may try the armarol then. I'm eventually going to buy flat fenders or line-x everything plastic so I guess it wouldn't hurt. I'll have to see if I can find the 303 aerospace stuff. Thanks for the imput guys
I removed my flares wet sanded them, then shot them with Plasti-Dip. Did this about 8 months ago and they still look great and black as black can be. You might want to look into doing that.
The important thing is to use SOMETHING to protect them from sun fade. I also use Aero 303. My favorite product for the soft glass windows is called "Plexus" it comes in a spray can and you use it with soft clean rags. I use it on my boat too. It's not only a cleaner, but a preserver too. P.S. Plexus is expensive unless you buy it on Amazon.
I just restored my JK bumpers and fenders with Mothers Back to Black 2 weeks ago. It worked very well for me.
I saw a YouTube video where someone was using a heat gun to restore black plastic trim. I haven't tried that myself, but it looked kinda interesting as something to try if the Mothers didn't work.
That stuff ...."as seen on tv". Black something or other. Kinda spendy. Got it at my local Walgreens section . But it works. Put it on my old Lebaron convertible black bumper and trim. It worked well and didn't fade or wash off for well over a year.
+1 for 303 Aerospace Protectant from Amazon! Makes the black plastic look new and doesn't cause dirt and grime to re-attract quickly the way some oilier products do.
I use Chemical Guys new look trim gel. The stuff works great I used it on my wife's dried out plastic cladding on her Expedition and it looks fantastic. I use it on the bumper, fenders and hood latches and it keeps them looking new. I also use mothers detailing spray on the hard top and it gives the top a nice dark look
303 is freakin' awesome stuff! Made my bumpers and fenders look brand new. And it looks great on tires. Doesn't make them shine really, just cleans them and makes them black. Fantastic product.

Best way to clean and protect black plastic fenders
Last week I traded in my 2014 Unlmtd Sport for a 2016 Unlmtd Hard Rock. So happy with it! However...
The slightest amount of mud that gets on these fenders does not come off easily, if at all. I've gone to several car washes, scrubbed, used gentle cleansers and degreasers to no avail!
Can someone provide me with what works to clean off the mud for good and what I can put on them afterwards to ward off future mud adherence's?
Aero 303...if you cannot find it locally buy it from Amazon.
