What to do about faded fender flares on a Jeep Wrangler?

If you own a Jeep Wrangler for a couple of years, you’re bound to confront the problem of faded fender flares. They start out a nice shiny black and gradually fade to a crappy dull gray after a year or two in the sun. Products like Armor All or 303 will keep your flares shiny and black for a while, but one good rain will kill that pretty quickly.

What’s the name of the paint conditioner for fender flares?

Penetrol. Penetrol is actually a “paint conditioner” thats primary purpose is to make oil-based paints spread easier. However, Penetrol also does a great job at reviving tired fender flares and restoring old fiberglass.

Is it safe to use penetrol on Jeep flares?

However, I can’t confirm that Penetrol is safe for ALL flares or all plastic pieces…if in doubt, test a small amount of Penetrol in a hidden location (ie. underside of flare) before covering your whole Jeep with it. Good luck. Notice the difference? Previous post: FAQ: Should I Lift My Jeep? Next post: Jeep Recalls 288,000 Jeep Wranglers.
