Default Fenders

Just wondering what people are using to keep their fenders looking good and not faded?

303 aerospace protectant. I've been introduced to it a few years ago and haven't touched any other product. I use it on interior plastics as well.

been using 303 on my cars for 20 years.. Love the stuff.. its kept my dashboards and plastics on the classics as well as my new cars looking great. MUCH better than armor-all crap.

Armor-all - Outlast - Trim and Plastic Restorer works really well.

agree, have avoided armor-all for years due to causing dash problems in the 80's. Tried the outlast a couple weeks ago on badly faded fenders and still shining like new.

For the interior I use pledge, but my fenders I sprayed then with raptor liner after all the chips when they were painted, they still look new to this day and no fading.

I've tried armour all, mothers back to black, mothers back to black extreme, and finally I just painted them. The armour all will not last long. The 52 car washes is a joke, we got a couple of rains and it was gone. I tried SEM paint ($15/can) since it is an automotive grade paint designed for bumpers and such but it didn't turn out as dark as a new flare would have been. It also does not hold up well to tree scrapes. I've got 5 years and 120k miles of "research" with keeping the flares looking nice.

I think raptor lining is my next move. Conventional bedlining is not an option because it sucks to clean, I've also explored that route for armor on the jeep.
