Default Best Product To Maintain Fender Liners..

I've removed the front fender liners to do some maintenance work on the car. While they are off I'd like to give them a thorough cleaning. I'd like to apply a product to give them a cleaner finish and hopefully maintain them in good condition after that. Once the car is up and running again it will be garage stored most days of the week. It won't see rain unless I get caught in an unexpected storm so I think it will be easy to keep liners and wheel wells clean once I get them up to proper condition. If I was daily driving this car it would be a futile effort but it doesn't see many miles so I'd like to keep it as clean as possible without a crazy effort.

Can anyone recommend a good product to maintain the fender liners, even something to clean them would help too. Thanks for any replies on this.

A good trick that's effective, but also quick and easy is to give them a good cleaning, then spray the fender wells with tire foam. It leaves an especially nice sheen to clean fender wells and is great for follow-up applications as well as the foam dissolves any dirt and grime that hosing them down won't remove.

Thanks !, that is a great suggestion, it's a product that I can easily find and that makes a lot of sense, dirt just sticks to the liners l think tire foam will get the grime out and shine it up at the same time. Excellent idea. I appreciate the reply I will definitely do this.

Chemical Guys BareBones or Adam's Undercarriage Spray are nice detailers to darken things up. I would stay away from tire shine.. drips on the tires for the loss....

Clean up the liners and apply and reapply as needed.

Hands down the best plastic/vinyl cleaner is 1z deep plastic I use it on all the grungy bare plastic fairings on my bike. Love it!
