@andrew0901280 for long term i dont think theres much you can do unfortunately. i know that bushwacker flares dont chaulk ever. but with wd40 its good for about as long as its dry. once it rains or you go to a car wash, it will be faded again by the time it's dry. not a bad idea to spray some on a rag and wipe your flares down once a week though.
@aeropostalbaby1 ya i ve been doin some poakin around today online about it. i guess another thing you can try is tire shine because most of them are water resistant and last a while. but you have to be carful wich kind you use because some of them can eat the plastic so im alittle hesitant on doing that
@andrew0901280 tried tires shine about a week ago. its gorgeous and lasts a while too. about a full week. but it gets reallllllly gross near the end. everything sticks to it. shit from trees, dirt, etc. wd40 at least creates a kindof shield.
@aeropostalbaby1 hmmmmmm i wonder if that black magic shit would work the stuff you have to scrub in and its supposed to last like a month and repel everthing
@andrew0901280 no idea. my tj was bought in texas and lived there and then florida for years without chaulking. it was canada with the winter snow/salt/ carwashes that faded the colour. i honestly dont think there is any real way to fix this problem
Naw it's easy. Just keep the gun moving. If you don't get it heated enough in one spot you can always go back over it. Check out my video of doing this too!
how long does it stand? I've read some people clamming that it turns green after while.

HOW LONG DOES IT STAY FOR

its called chaulking , not fading. WD40 also works good and you dont risk scorching your body paint like with a torch or heat gun. or use armour-all.

You can also use a propane torch which is faster but the heat gun would have a lower chance of getting it too hot.

That's pretty cool! I suspect it would work on pretty much any unpainted black trim plastics (door handles, etc)
