Black plastics/bumpers

[jetrinka]

Anyone else have a heck of a time getting the black fender liners and black textured powder coated bumpers clean? It’s insane the amount of scrubbing it seems to take!

Any products you guys know of to help?

Nope. I use a foam cannon on the pressure washer to pre soak the truck before washing.

The only thing I use on the truck is spray Turtle wax ICE.

Can that spray wax be applied to plastics without it turning white?

I heard dirt helps. Protects them from the UV haha.

haha it certainly helps keep things uniform. Had it up on some logging roads this weekend dinking around. It got pressure washed underneath when it got back home. Dirty girl!!!

Yes. It's easy on-off.

Thanks I’ll have to give it a try

I've noticed the textured portions being a bitch to clean in comparison to the rest of the truck. Well aside from the windshield and and roof, lol. Even when using the power washer, and assorted prewash options at the DIY wash.

I'll usually just use a damp chamois and rub the flares a bit when I get home. Works well enough.

The turtle wax hybrid ceramic goes on anything without hazing too.

My truck never gets washed when I'm at my place in WV. No point as it's all gravel FS roads. It's either covered in a layer of dust or mud, or both. I clean it once I return to the land of paved roads.

I use pledge on my fender flares, same on my JK, seems to help keep the dirt from sticking and easier to scrub clean later.
