My brother's jeep was spray painted by the local hoodlums. the cops told
him to use WD40 and a sock to remove the vandalism. He did, and it worked
great, but some WD40 dripped down over the greyed fender flares, blackening
them. He ended up wiping all the flares with the WD40 and they're all nice
and black. Not sure how long it lasts, but it had been a couple months when
I saw the Jeep, and they still looked good. Also not sure if the WD40 will
"react" with the flares over time and cause damage to them....

I put something like this on my Jeep's fender flares a few years ago. (This
was before I found out that it was wrong to dress up my Jeep and parade her
around like a harlot in public.) As I remember it didn't last long, perhaps
one season.

Well, if your Jeep's a tart, no sense in dressing her down. :)

My Jeep's a bitch. But I love her anyway!
