Default "Dirt/mud Stains" on my stock fender flares, and bumpers

Long story short i took my jeep through some mud, and cleaned it off later that day, but now there's some stains where the mud hit.

Best cleaner/solution to get this off?
Any special hints?

303 Aerospace Protectant works great for removing the mud spots on the top and plastics.

When they become dull or faded put on some "forever black" for plastic trim. They also have "forever black" for soft tops. I bought both off ebay.

If you scuff the flare on a tree then give it a quick shot of paint. They're easier to keep clean that way too.

If it were possible to do it with the flares that i have i would. Honestly though, i'm looking in to getting flat flares soon, that don't have that "textured" style to them.

303 is all I use on my bumpers, fenders, interior...keeps everything black and no stains. Tire shine eats the plastic and turns it milky (did this with a prior rig).

"Mothers back to black" got it auto zone and it made my fenders look brand new again... you may need to put a few layers of it the first time but if you do it every time you wash it... it keeps them looking good
