Default C6 inner fenders

What do you all use to make these look nice? They are a kind of dark grey mottled mess

Ive tried to clean them and dress them and usually they look a bit better but not perfect. The material does seem to be molten in design. Just stay away from dressings with silicones as it will attract dirt and dust and make them worse.

I use a product called C-Magic. It is available through the Corvette Museum. They have a product designed for underhood plastics and gives a very nice finish. I like 303 Aerospace protectant for the wheel well areas.

The only way you can make those look nice (i.e. all a uniform color) is to have a shop paint them. Otherwise, all you can hope for is getting them clean.

I would try foaming tire foam. It must be the one that foams otherwise the glossy one will attract dust. Spray on a towel and wipe off. Good luck

I agree this inner fender material shows poorly.
