Mabett fender flare staining

[Billy2mav]

I spilled gas on my Mabett fender flare and the fender flare stained, being just under the gas fill i think it should be able to take some gas spillage.

Try using something like this...

I use this brand on all my plastic. Doesn't give you the greasy feeling but brings plastics back to their original look.

Good to know I was gonna order those for my 25. Have the Ford accessory ones on my 22, no staining ever.

I haven't tried to buff the stain out yet but i am going to try today. I have a plastic shine product if it doesn't work i will try wolfgang.

Project Farm ran some tests on restorers. Cerakote seems to be the best option running there.

You get what you pay for. Mabett is just cheap Chinese products. Not sure why you would expect more from them.

I've had good luck with 303 Aerospace protectant on the black plastic fenders of my '04 Mini Cooper. It seems to be popular with Jeep owners as well. Not sure if Mabett is as flexible as those types of fender flares but any unpainted black plastic needs a good UV protectant, and the Maverick has plenty. First thing I did was treat the bed caps and will finish the rest when weather allows.
303 doesn't darken the plastic or give it a wet look like ArmorAll.

But I think the first thing is to get that light spot out before treating it with anything. Maybe try some GoofOff or 90% rubbing alcohol on that spot. Then try to darken it back with ArmorAll or STP SonOfaGun.
Or just clean it all with mineral spirits then tape it off and shoot the whole fender flare with a good Rustoleum semi gloss black, and hopefully not worry about future spills.

I'd wipe the rest of it with gas before trying to "restore" it - if I cared about a uniform finish.

Thanks for the good suggestions.

Some jeep folks use a electric heat gun or hair dryer to renew their plastics. Caution and practice should be used in the process. Youtube should have a hundred videos or so on it.

Plastic and fuel are the same thing, they are just produced at different temperatures while heating crude oil. I would generally expect them to always react a lil.
