Second application of refinish/restorer. The only thing that has been put on my fenders and bumpers for the last year and they look as good if not better than new.

Clean up just requires soap and water and they come out looking this good for 8-9 months. I just can't see spending the time to reapply anything on a weekly/monthly basis.

are you guys using creamy or extra chunky?


i am guessing its the peanut oil that is shining up the fenders.


i did a write up on using the "forever black" line of products on bumpers, fenders, and soft tops. Mine is a 2007 and been wheeled pretty heavily at the badlands that has some of the worst mud out there. I applied it once at the beginning of spring and havent touched it since then. i would check it out.

Car systems refinish/restorer. I used to use it on my Chevy Avalanche and have not found anything that even comes close to this product. I wish someone else on here would try it as it truly is an incredible product for plastics.

I wonder if the hot air gun (the kind used to peel paint) works on JK plastic fenders? It did miracles on my old TJ flares, turned from whitish gray to jet black like new and lasted a really long time. Just keep moving and keep a little distance to not melt the plastic or burn the paint...

Huh...Heat gunning lasted a few years at a time on my TJ (did it twice in 10 years). I used Krylon Fusion on my Ranger and it ended up getting chipped by gravel in almost no time, looked ghetto after 2 months.
