Megly.

Here is what I use to clean the wax, and fading from the rubber fender flares.

Get a small plastic bristle brush (Like the ones guys use to clean greasy finger nails) and a bottle of "Mothers brand Back to Black" or "Turtle Wax brand Black Chrome" usually found at your local auto parts store or even Wallmart. Cost is about $4.00. This is a liquid cleaner/ protectant designed to clean faded and or durty rubber (And make it look black again) Works great on car trim too. Wipe the flares with a damp rag to get off any road dirt. Shake and open the bottle and pour a "TINY" bit of "Back to Black" on the brush and lightly scrub the rubber flares (Back and forth and in a circles). Do a little at a time and wipe off the excess. The brush technique will get into the pores and clean out any wax and dirt build up. The bottle will go a long way. After the flares are clean, you can use this product with a rag to occasionally keep them looking good.



I use spray foam tire cleaner/ protectant applied with a rag to keep mine looking nice.

(Once they have the wax and dirt removed)

NOTE: Do not use any paint thinners or solvents on rubber because it will dry it out and look bad. [img]modules/phpBB_14/images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img] [addsig]
