Well after putting the new wheels on, I noticed that my fender liners were extremely dirty and had stains from who know what. So I decided to clean them up and make them look new again.

Step 1. Used Oil Eater and a brush, sprayed them down and scrubbed it down.

Step 2. Spray it down and let it dry.

Step 3. Tape off any parts of the body and anything else you don't want painted.

Step 4. Get the can of rubberized under coating ( I got mines from Walmart )
and spray the inner liner. Then Let dry for 10minutes.

Step 5. 2nd Coat of coating, then let dry and you're done!

Before:

After:

Its hard to tell in the pictures but the coating put a nice textured fresh plastic look. The dots you see were part of some damage that were already there prior to the coating. I plan to add another coat to help cover it up.

* When I get my hands on a better camera I'll try to get a better picture.

i just scrub them down and use Adams undercarriage spray. here is what it looks like before the spray and after. the spray isnt permanent but it lasts a decent amount of time and its just a spray on thing

Man they look great. My guess they are steel on the older ones. My 04 the inner fenders are plastic and rocks have gouged it pretty bad. I would love to get them looking like those nice shinny ones.

Looks nice.
A few follow up questions to th0se that have used the Rubber undercoating...
How well does it stand up?
With the rubber texture... is it harder/easier to keep clean? (I would figure the texture would trap more road-grime)
