Have used Mothers,Meguires, and various other products until I found Forever BLACK bumper trim and conditioner (FB040). This stuff is the best-comes in a plastic bottle with foam applicator on top-just like shoe polish. Dries quick and looks great

I have used AA and Mothers and recently started buying the Turtle Wax trim restorer from the auto parts store. The turtle wax stays on for a LONG time and doesnt seem to hurt the plastic at all. I never liked any turtle wax stuff but this does truly work the best. It also can be put on in direct sunlight which was always a pain with mothers. It does get slippery though but you can wipe it off easily and it still shines. Here is a video to the stuff:

Try it and youll be sold.

I suppose it makes it more slippery than nothing, but it's not "greasy."

You can use whatever you'd like, but I would NOT recommend tire wet on anything but tires. You're going to destroy your plastics.

Just look at any Jeep Wrangler on the road with milky, faded, blue-gray fender flares, and then ask the owner what he used on them.


Although I agree with your Armor All statement, the faded fender flares on the Jeep Wranglers your seeing is just sun fading. Trust me, most Wrangler owners are not shining their flares with armor all.
Back to Black is great stuff, I also use Meguiars Boat rubber and vinyl protectant and cleaner. I use it on the interior too, seems to leave a nice shine, cleans, and I trust it more than the super shiny greasy stuff.

Sure they are. It's all that most people know. Plus, the first couple uses make the flares dark and shiny. But then the damage is done.

I agree that I'm seeing sun-fading on Jeep flares. But it's usually the combination of AA and the sun that makes them milky and faded. The trim otherwise will NOT just turn that way on it's own. I can say that because mine sits out and has NOT faded.
