Mine are perfect that’s from the train other posts about this and how to fixIs anyone else having issue with cleaning the fender flairs? I have a Badlands, squatched. No mods. Rocks and dirt get kicked up, and yes, I have paint chipping and marks on the fender flairs and door handles but I can't get the fender flairs clean. I use a car wash mit usually and the last time I washed it, I used a soft tire brush on them. Still no luck.
Any suggestions to get them clean without damaging the flairs?
Did you remove the fenders to do this, or were you able to just tape it off?It's pretty standard for that type of plastic to lose color quickly. A neighbor had his Wrangler parked outside for about 10 years. I did a single coat of Solution Finish just to drum up a detail job for fun one weekend and it was night and day difference. Lasted about 18 months before needing re-application. I'll still call that money/time well spent as it only takes seconds to apply.

Full disclosure: I have no affiliation with AutoGeek or Solution Finish in any way. I get absolutely nothing, not even a Christmas card from them for suggesting their products. They have simply treated me fantastic over the past 25 years of car detailing both as a business and as a consumer so I suggest them to others.
I bought some of this VRP stuff to try out on all plastic trim. Might help if it's put on a clean part first, so I'll do it right away.I just want to clarify. The grey you see in the pictures is staining, not fading.
I'm nervous to use any aggressive cleaning methods (because then I'll have fading!).
Thanks for all of the suggestions. Once I get them clean, I'm going to protect them.
Quick someone try it on the MIC 1.0 before Ford replaces it. Let us knowRick, dare I ask…
What would happen if one put this on the MIC top?
do you have a suggestion that might keep the fender flares from turning grey? Can a protectant applied weekly actually keep UV off enough to have them NOT fade, all black trim for that matter?It's $12 well spent for sure. Obviously some plastics take it better than others (that's what she said!), but if Bronco fenders are anywhere in the ballpark of what Jeep's been using, it will do you a treat.
i have the same issue. Did you figure out what worked for you?I just want to clarify. The grey you see in the pictures is staining, not fading.
