X3 on the turtle wax trim restore. Lasts a good few weeks but definitely something you will have to reapply every wash or two, depending and how often you wash your rig. lasts longer than the mothers back to black that I used previously.

That said, I recently bedlined my stock stubby bumper and it turned out amazing. Didn't even use a primer, just degreaser and scuffed it up with a scotch brite pad. I used the spray can bedliner. Months later it still looks brand new and washes up very nice when dirty which was a concern I had. I typically have to stand on my bumper when doing engine work and it hasn't faded chipped cracked or anything from me standing on it or from rocks hitting it while driving. Definitely going to do it to my flares when I have time

I used Aerospace 303... Their products work... This is what I treat all the plastic with and you can get it at marine/RV supply shops

I use PoorBoys World Trim Restore after cleaning with an all purpose cleaner like ZEP citrus clean. Spray the trim with the all purpose cleaner and let it dwell for a few minutes. Spray some more cleaner and with a medium bristle brush agitate the cleaner and rinse. Wash and dry Jeep. Apply thin layer of PoorBoys world trim restore to an applicator pad and wipe. Apply additional coats. The trim restore dries to the touch.

The product is available from www.poorboys.com or autogeek.com

This is not specific to fender flares, but for any plastic. I used 303 on an old car I had for about 15 years, it really did a nice job keeping all the cheap old Italian plastic looking great and not cracking/fading. It had one crack in the dash when I bought the car, and over the years, the crack did not get worse and no other ones developed.

Another vote for Aerospace 303. Amazon is a great place to get it!

I just use Dupli-Color trim paint. It's about $6 a can at autozone. Just apply it like spray paint. Be sure and cover up everything so yo don't get overspray on the paint. Do it out of the wind but in a well ventilated area. A little goes a long way so go on easy and apply several thin layers. Avoid spraying too much in one spot to avoid running. (same rules you would use for spray paint)
