I guess you should just realize that you have the perfect excuse now to upgrade! Get some nice bushwackers or the like.

I have been looking into the smittybilt XRC ones, all metal and cheap... I can't afford $1000 for bushwackers...

I can't do either before I get man tires though. I have my heart on a set of 5 duratracs either 33s or 35s but im waiting until I finish paramedic and get my raise in 2 months.

I hear you. Cash is always tight these days. If you know you'll upgrade at some point and all else has failed maybe paint them or color them with a sharpie, I mean how much wax did you get on everthing? I bet bedlining the fenders would look pretty rugged!

You know bedlining it never occured to me lol... I raptor lined my side skirts which came out amazing and I have 3 bottles left.

Its really not that horrible but it bothers the hell out of me.

if all else fails there is always the "forever black" trim kit option for $16... which would of been cheaper to get from the start at this freaking point ive spent $30 on stupid fix it products.

I know exactly what you are going thru. i did the exact same thing 2 weeks ago. used tooth brushes and all kinds of cleaners.
i came across a bottle of Leather conditioner from Armor All, and to my surprise it covered the wax (didnt remove it) but covered the wax. but i have also noticed that after every wash the wax gets lighter and lighter. So i am dealing with.
when it's all gone i will be a little more careful the next time i wax, PROBABLY USE painters tape at the edges.....
lol
