Default Found a great fender cleaner

After driving around with car wax residue on my (black) fenders for a month, I tried some Armor All wipes, on a whim, and they worked great. They easily took the residue off the fenders and the rest of the black trim. Looks like new.

what a debbie downer. Yeah they eventually return but the big problem with using armoral wipes is that dust will cake on them. but it does work for a little bit you just have to re-apply it regularly.

A soft toothbrush and WD-40 does wonders to remove wax from textured plastic. Armor All "protectant" + sun = eventual cracked/faded plastic.

Thanks for the warnings and suggestions. I don't wax often, but I'll stay away from Armor-All. Any issues with using it on the interior?

I use Mothers back to black on the fenders and it works, but I am not totally cold on it yet.

on another note, I helped a buddy pick up and wash his 1984 Porsche 944 the other day it was dirty, the rear tail flair or what ever the heck they are called oh ya spoiler was so faded and white, I sprayed and rubbed this stuff in and man it looked good...
its called rain x pro shine I think did a good job, yet to try it on my jeeps bumpers and fenders but after seeing how it did on that Porsche
I have to think it would work well.

When were in the photo studio shooting our fender flares we like to use VuPlex
Its non greasy and works by penetrating the dirt and grime in the surface and adding a fine layer of filling material that leaves the surface protected and adds a lustrous finish to clear and coloured plastics and makes plastic paints gleam like new.
Its quite popular in the aviation community.
I love to "borrow" these little cans when I need to clean up my STi at home.
