Dirt, it keeps them covered and out of the sun.
Back-to-Black
This works great
Search fenders, sorry to be harsh but this is a bi-weekly question
I was one of those. Just got my Jeep, went muddling, wash it still dirty fenders! Helps to get right to the answer by experienced Jeepers. Same goes for lifts!.
I haven’t been here long but I should have searched 1st.
No worries, and I apologise
I use this stuff and it works great
I use this as well and it’s the best stuff I’ve used
Jax wax black trim renew
303 Aerospace protectant
First I clean them with Mothers Wheel and Tire cleaner, then I use Back to Black.
303 is the best and includes UV Protection
That’s put the black back as well as protects?
I used 303 on vinyl and all the clear soft top windows too
ArmorAll Outlast works pretty well
Wipe it with some wd40, or some silicon based oil. Won’t last for shit but it’ll work until it rains or you wash it
Adam’s polishes VRT and then new metal fenders and bumpers.
Back to Black. Any automotive store carries that and a few others.
Rhino line them and dont worry about them
Back to black
A buddy of mine let his get hot sitting in the sun, and spread peanut butter on them and claimed to bring the black back out. Not sure how that worked out, probably better to use Back To Black.
Choosy Jeepers choose Jif
Back to black is the way to go.
This is the best.
https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/61JMaPElNhL._SX679_.jpg I tried this Chemical Guys VRP a couple of weeks ago, been raining almost everyday and two car washes and still looks very black. Not sure how it compares to others but I like it so far.
Back to black
Back to black. Spray can
I just used back to black for the first time yesterday. It looks great.
Agreed- mother’s back to black is a fantastic product
Mine we’re as gray as the center bumper. Back to black. All good now
Heat gun
I tried this and it didn’t work for crap. I could tell a little difference, but not enough to make it worth the time.
Back to black back faded pretty quickly on mine. I watched a YouTube video where a guy just used Armor All Tire Shine on his and since I had some laying around I decided to give it a shot and had great results. It’s lasted a couple weeks somehow, and my favorite part is that it was a lot easier to get off the paint than back to black
Peanut butter
Wipe new
S100 engine bright. It is a little pricey, but is the best there is for restoring the black. It also lasts a long time.
Heat gun
Aerospace 303
MUD !!!!
The reason for this question. I have been using Outlast sporadically and thought I was keeping the fading under control. Then I installed these door cups and what a difference in the color. The door handles are much more faded than I thought.
I use Wipe New. Worked great and longest lasting. Consumer reports agrees. https://www.consumerreports.org/cro/magazine/2014/05/best-exterior-car-trim-cleaners/index.htm
Pressure wash the bumpers and fenders, dry and spray paint back to black or color of choice. I tried all those other products and it was temporary.
Works great I apply every 9 or 10 months. Everything looks showroom new.
Steel
I used mothers back to black
Back to black, armor all tire shine lasts a long time too.
Mothers back to black. Turtle wax also do a similar product that works just aswell
Hadn’t considered paint. Not that bad yet.
Mother’s back to black and WD40
Can’t fade if they are covered in mud.
A garage and trees. ?
Back To Black
I love this stuff
Wipe New or Back to Black. Which ever I have on hand.
The same thing I use to shine up my tires.
Park in the garage and in the shade…
Penetrol.

Back to Black
Wipe New
Pledge
Mud…lots and lots of mud
303
It’s great for the inside and out
Body armor…..metal fenders
The trash can, take them off and buy metal
Metal isn’t as forgiving when bouncing off trees on the trails!
@Susan plastic won’t protect much when bouncing of trees and rocks on the trails! Good quality metal will.
I don’t see many rock crawlers sporting plastic oem bumpers, but maybe they are all crazy.
But easiest way by far to keep that plastic looking nice is to find people like me that don’t want that plastic junk and we will just give it to you. No need to try to make your old plastic look knew again. Just put free new plastic on again, lol.
Mine do not look old. I want to keep it that way.
Back to black. Use the cleaner then the restorer.
boom
Some mud….
Forever black worked great
Turtle wax ICE
