I couldnt find a way to clean my bumper and rock rails, i have white blemishes i cant seem to get off. ive tried all types of cleaners from autozone, rubbing compond..ect and havent had much luck. I sprayed some WD-40 on my aftermarket bumper and rock rails.. It really helps deepen the black powder coating and gives it some shine. I dont get much rain out here but it seems to help alot.... until the next time i go wheeling

303 AEROSPACE PROTECTANT. NOTHING BETTER. Once or twice per year on fenders, bumpers and interior areas and
you are good to go.

Mother's Back to Black works great for me. My Jeep and my BMW motorcycle sit outside year around. I do not have a garage. It lasts for a couple of months but we have the most extreme sun in the US so I consider it pretty good. UL Labs definitely do not do their testing where I live because nothing would pass.

Another one for 303. My 2007 is uncovered in the las Vegas sun and the 303 makes the fenders look like new.

On my old TJ I used black liquid shoe polish. It worked great. I used Kiwi black with the attached foam applicator.

I was 303 fan until it ran after a rain and the run-off stained my brand new wheel... Threw the container of 303 in the garbage shortly there-after.
