I say experiment with different options. I've used the magic erasers and thought, holy hell the dirt came out....and then the Jeep dried and it looked like ass. I use the Turtle Wax Ice just to cover it up now and no white streaks but some folks don't have luck with that. A lot of folks swear by 303.

Mothers back to black all the way! Used it on the front bumper just to try it when I first got my JK and it works great on all the black plastic parts. I don't know why but the dirt layer left by the mud just disappears.

X3 on the 303 protectant!!!! Great stuff & lasts longer than most other products that I have used in the past for cleaning black plastics.

I"m wondering now if the Magic Eraser will take off wax from the fenders and black plastic on the jeep? I'm going to have to try this.

303 is the best. it used to be in stock here at auto zone, now they seem to not stock it anymore, no clue why. So last trip to the store I purchased mothers, and it stinks compared to 303. 303 is by far the best.

Check a boating store like West Marine.

Default simple green

Simple green works to get the dried mud off when washing, then Mothers back to black... I'll have to try the magic eraser bit

My problem is that I have white stains. I did back to black on it and it worked for like 2 weeks and then now the stains are coming back and I have no idea WTF to do. They are the kind of stains that are left behind by someone putting a can or bottle on the bumper but as experienced as I am in the auto detailing word, this stumps me...

They look like coffee mug stains. I put about 3 coats of back to black on it. One more just appeared mysteriously. I am thinking about just painting over those stains with flat blak paint... or shoe polish...

Any thoughts?
