Default Black shoe polish

Anyone used or tried liquid black shoe polish on fender flares?

Could work. Give it a shot, you can always clean it back off if it doesn't work as well as expected. Try it on a small spot first.

Don't do it! It will be a disaster...

I've found Aerospace 303 does a good job bringing mine back to life.

I tried this stuff by turtle wax, worked great and is holding up well. It's kinda a mess to put on, but not bad. I would recommend taping off your body around the flares. It will come off the clear coat if you get it on there, but takes some scrubbing.

Google Black Wow and there is a comparison test on a MINI Cooper site. It's all I will ever use

Been using 303 on mine for two years it works great. I park outside all the time and get lots of sun exposure.

Never tried it but everything else armorall I've used has been awful. Greasy dashes, dust magnet, brown tires..

The only other product I've used is called Forever Black. It worked okay and was more of a dye. Lasted for a while but fades and looks like crap again. 303 has been the best although a little on the pricier side.
