Cleaning unpainted plastic bumpers, fenders, etc...?

[Lightsped]

Been a while since the Jeep was clean. Had mud that had been on the unpainted plastic bumpers and fenders for quite a while. After washing and drying, the mud spots are still visible.

What is the best way to get the mud spots off? What is recommended to protect these same plastic parts from the sun?

I'm not sure the best way to get mud off that's been on there for awhile, but for protecting anything plastic or rubber I use 303. It has a UV proctectant that helps keep stuff from fading. I use it on the tires too.

You could try a citrus wash, possible a clay bar to follow, after that hit it with the 303.

303 Aerospace protectant. Get the more expensive marine stuff. Works well to restore color and get rid of mud spots. Do not try to clay bar your unpainted fenders lol.

chemical guys nonsense and a brush...the residual dirt is likely just in the nooks and crannies of the rough plastic. follow with VRP or aero303.

+1 on the 303

it seems to be a crowd favorite

if it’s still there after a bucket wash try some APC with a medium stiff brush and if that doesn’t work cover it up with 303, it’ll hide your sins

Thanks for the feedback.

Will look into 303. Assume that can be found most anywhere?

Most boat and RV stores have it.
