Re: jeep plastic turning gray
 
Wash off the ArmorAll ASAP and try 303 Protectant. Take off the corner
bumperettes, they look like crapola anyway. Some people have had luck
with a heatgun on the fender flares, just be careful. They can also be
painted, but will show scratches more easily.

Throw away your armorall.

I stand with the heat gun crowd. I also have a foot in the paint ring
(Krylon Fusion is made for plastic and forms a bond with the plastic. It
will not chip off).
