If you are really curious, maybe try it on a small unseen area first

Mr Clean actually is retired and lives in our guest house.
When he gets back from lawn bowling I'll ask him about this.

Couldn't be, I've been using his skull for my bowling ball, but the teeth hurt my thumb. Gotta toughen up a bit I guess.

I've heard pencil erasers work well on that type of plastic. Not really applicable on the fender flares because of their size, but if you need to do some touch ups or spot checks, it would work.

I'll try the magic eraser, when I use a brush, it still leaves residue after it dries.

I think it would probably work pretty well but I have not tried it personally. I have used them on many things and the only thing is they leave a chaulky residue on some dark surfaces. You would probably have to hose them off or wipe them down after you use one but they will get off the spots.

Yes they do work on the bumpers. I have tried it. The only downside to them is that when doing the side steps, the diamond grip will eat up an eraser pretty quick. BUT THEY DO WORK!!! I started using simple green and a scrub brush and I think it works just as well and it's a little less expensive.
