I don't know about yours, but I tried the heat gun to the flares while
still on the vehicle, and it did not work out so well. And yes, I
used common sense, kept the gun moving, etc., and still damaged
paint...so either my heat gun is REALLY hot ( of course, I can start a
2x4 on fire with it, neat party trick!) or it is cheap, OEM paint.

I didn't say Armor All makes plastic crack, I said it is crack for
plastic. If you use Armor All once, you can't ever stop using it (get
the comparison to the drug crack now???) At least that is the story I
have always heard (and heard repeated here several times), so I have
never used it.

| There's no need to remove the flares to use a heat gun, I've been
using a
| heat gun on my flares for years and common sense keeps the paint
next to the
| flares from getting damaged.

to what

changed their

While once true, it is no longer. It took me a while to believe that
Armorall no longer has the problem it used to have but they definitely did
change their formulation. I still don't use it but I no longer advise
against its use. :)

As long as we are on a fender flare topic, I do have a question. I have a
2000 Wrangler that I purchased used. I recently got the pressure washer a
bit too close to one of my fender flares and I peeled a thin coat of
'something' from one of the flares. Do the flares have some sort of
protective coating that I peeled off or is this thin coating some sort of
paint that the previous owner applied at some point?
