Default Faded fenders
Have a 2007 jk and my fenders are faded really bad. I've scrubbed them and I've tried the back to black stuff but it didn't last more than like a week. I also tried the heat gun but it didn't make much of a difference. Anyone know of anything else that will work so I don't have to but new ones?

You can paint them or buy new. Nothing else really works well.

I'm pretty sure I remember someone saying they used motor oil. Lasted longer than most commercial products, can't hurt to try!

X2... Aerospace 303 is pretty awesome stuff. Amazon has some fair options and prices, it's where I bought mine.

Use creamy peanut butter. The oil in it does much better than back to black and it will help remove any wax residue.

don't laugh, it truly works.

Tire Wet. It lasts a long time as well. I know it's not made for plastic fenders, but it really works great on anything that's faded that you would normally Armorall.
