Last weekend I took all the front wheel well pieces off of the car, even the top piece that mounts to the clam. I scrubbed each piece with soap, water and scrub brush. I carefully cleaned off the little chunks of tar with a razor blade. Then I polished each piece with “Pledge” furniture polish. That stuff took off the last of the tar and made each piece look like new. I then treated the weather-strip with silicon and put the whole thing back together. It was a PITA but worth it. It took me a at least six or seven hours start to finish.

Do you mean the inner fender or the lower bumper?
Inner fender = Simplegreen then armor all for shine
Body panels = Clay bar then a good wax or polish

I use simple green and weekly washing.That's odd because its just a piece of sheet molded fiberglass. I don't recall a clear coat of sorts but maybe there is. Would make sense though as it would provide a great sealer to the piece that gets a lot of road abuse. If it's really bad wonder how much a new panel is?
