Cleaning Fenders
I have a set of fenders.. white with blue tops and bottoms.. the tops and bottoms are coated with a dark substance.. I seek advice as to how to clean them. -- Longing to be closer to to the sun, the wind and the sea! Spiritually at: Latitude 21 degrees 19' 9" North. _!_ Longtitude 157 degrees 56' 31" West. Aloha! ___o_(_)_o___ q |
DO NOT USE ACETONE!

Use auto polish/cleaner. If plastic under the stain is good, be like new

Marinco, the shore power cord folks, make a product for cleaning their power cords. It also works splendidly on lifelines, fenders, and just about any other soft, high-density plastic. Takes some elbow grease, but the results are great. I've also used Soft Scrub and fine Scotchbrite pads with acceptable results. Max |

I don't know anyone who has managed to sucessfully restore filthy fenders. I've seen people spend the price of a fender on special cleaner - and they still spent hours scrubbing. Unless you have lots of free time, I'd recommend that you get new fenders. Regards Donal -- |
orange abrasive hand cleaner works great.
