For plastics use Wipe New
I've tried so much other shit for it and that by far works the best and last the longest.


I bought Meguar's or however you spell it. Several coats and all looks new.

Ford Dana 44 front and a 9inch rear if you don't plan on going over 35-37's


Ended up just ordering new spider gears, was $100. Gonna stick with the 31" tires. I do have rub in the front which I'm gonna figure out what to start chopping at... Think I'm definitely going to remove the front bumper since the L/R bumper caps are getting rubbed into. TBD.

The funds ended up going into the repair as well. I believe one of the switches ended up running like $200 for the part alone.

Well yeah..they all will, but nothing will last as long as wipe new.
Thats some potent shit. You have to wear gloves, if any at all gets on the grass it will turn that spot completely black and wreck the grass.
