Default Black fenders (cleaning question)

Not sure if this is in the right spot or not but here goes. I was wondering what you guys did to keep your fender flares clean and black. I hate washing them and putting some turtle wax fender black on my fenders and bumpers, then two days later they look like crap. Solutions, advice......anything to input please do. Thanks.

Been using 303 for awhile now, and it does a good job IMO...

I use mothers, and if they arent too mud stained I have found that just mixing a cap full of it in a litre of warm water and using a cloth to wipe the fenders and bumpers down works pretty good.

Poison Spyder powder coated flares never fade! Seriously one of the reasons I love these so much. I hate how faded fenders look on a nice Jeep.

After hours of trying to clean the plastic fenders and rear bumper on my CJ I was ready to cover it up or purchase new ones. After Black Magic, Armor All and other cleaning product, my fenders were fading and had a lot of wax build up. I was ready to try anything.

At the time, Mr Clean's Magic Eraser just came out. I am not sure what's in it but it fixed the wax spots and shined it back up. Just make sure it clean and dry first then try it on a somewhat out of sight spot to see if it do the trick for your fenders too.

I used a krylon spray paint used for plastic surfaces. Made them like new. Used a flat black and came out nice.
