- In today’s video, Anthony demonstrates how to Restore Black Plastic Fender liners to a NEW OEM look! Wheel arch detailing is often overlooked, but can drastically improve the look of a vehicle! Anthony Compares 3 different products to restore faded plastic and the benefits of each! Solution Finish, Gtechniq C4, and Koch Chemie Plast Star!
Cleaning Fender liners may not be the most EXCTINIG thing to detail, but it can greatly improve the look of a vehicle. Plastic Fender liners can almost always be restored or improved, but carpet fender liners are a whole different beast. For today, our main focus is on restoring plastic and trim back to black. Anthony uses a combination of steam cleaning with all purpose cleaner and plenty of brush agitation. A pressure washer or hose can also be used, but we find that steam detailing is plenty suitable for this. These particular fender liners have NEVER been detailed, or even dressed for that matter. Plenty of stains and oxidation of the plastic have caused these to fade and turn white over time.
After a DEEP scrub with Koch Chemie Green Star and a Detail Factory Tire brush, Anthony rinses with steam and treats the surfacer with a 1:1 70% IPA and Distilled water Mix. From there, each Fender liner is restored with Solution Finish, Gtechniq C4 and KCX PSS. So which one looks best? Well, comparing the products, Anthony prefers the dark look of Solution Finish, but C4 and PSS provide a GREAT restoration as well. C4 will have added protection from the coating, and PSS will be easier to “touch up” from time to time. Overall, all THREE of these products are amazing for restoring car plastics back to black, so the choice is really up to preference.
As usual, we hope you enjoy these detailing tips and tricks and can apply them to your detailing regimen. Thanks for watching!

👉 What's YOUR favorite way to take care of wheel wells and fender liners?
One of mine is completely black again after a power steering line broke and sprayed fluid all over. I suggest that method, it was completely hands off
I've seen this RSX before 👀
Trim restoration is sooo satisfying, i could watch it ALLDAY 😏
Lol. The cut away shots...lol. thank you for that. I haven't laughed that much in a long time
First guy was in a position almost identical to mine at the time of watching lol
Fantastic video displaying various options. Sure to please those hungriest for trim.

Thanks for the demo! 🙌 the tips for c4 were a nice bonus
Thank you for the tips! ❤ I think it's an exciting topic. can't wait to attack mine!
Really nice video to show us this setup for cleaning and transmit the passion of detailling 😁👍🏼
For those who want to know how to clean carpeted fender liners, Nick and Yvan posted a video up over a week ago.
I’ll do this soon. Thanks good job
See I love this type of work Anthony I could scrub fenderwells all day long what’s wrong with me I think what it is as you’re seeing the actual visual changing something and I think that’s why I enjoy detailing I do it on the side my full-time job I’m a maintenance technician for a winery.
Nice video presentation. The so-called fabric lined fenderwell seems to be more like a composite plastic material.
I've never used my steamer for fender liners, but I'm going to try it soon. I normally just let them weather the winter until pressure washer season.
Pss works great with a spray head too it doesn’t clog at all and get a nice mist onto the Applicators. Especially for tyres. Also would like to of seen DLUX compared to C4
I have 99.9% IPA. Can you tell me how much to dilute for degreasing surfaces. Very great video!
Excellent work! How would Motorplast compare to these?
Can you stack c4 over solution finish for longevity?

Hello from Australia 🙃
Great video and what brushes and chemicals would you use after this has been done? The brush you used to clean the wheel arches would be to hard or stiff to use now on the treated surfaces wouldn't be?
Can you use that kind of product for the headlights and restore it?
Have a 2000 Toyota Camry LE that my late cousin gave me it was his father's Camry. I'm the 4th owner of the Camry. One problem the Camry has a protective coating on the underside of the Camry. Also in the fender wells. Why the person had the fender wells done I have no idea. They're extremely hard to clean with the protective coating on the fender wells. The front fender well covers are plastic or vinyl. The back fender wells look to be metal. Any suggestions would be helpful to clean and take care of the fender wells. Thanks much.
Work smarter not harder….just spray them with any tire foam cleaner after you wash your vehicle and walk away…..keep them looking new after every wash….plus the money and time you save…..priceless
Now that I’ve spent the past 20 minutes watching Anthony clean fender wells I’m ready to get back to watching the bikini pageant.
Great Video! What steamer is Anthony using? It doesn’t look like the McCulloch steamer
He is using a POD steamer in this particular video.
This is so much an Anthony OCD pride demo, not something I would do for a customer nor myself. Exception is doing a wheel coating so while wheels off a light cleaning is logical. I have never experienced a customer that looks behind the wheel or at those surfaces.
this gotta be alldayanthony
Can you put some solution finish onto carpet style under liner ??? Maybe with a small brush ???
I would say it would definitely work since it is a dye if you get it super clean and dry first, even though it’s not intended for fabrics. But if you don’t already have solution finish a little bit of carpet dye on an applicator would also work then just put a fabric sealant/coating over once it’s dryed to an even finish to hold it in.
I have a high-end Dupray vapor cleaner and it does well on these areas, but nothing beats dry ice blasting of these areas. Nothing.
Can we get a bird to poop on Anthony’s car so we can see his rides get detailed
Could you top the solution finish with the c4?
Yes!

How long does the c4 bottle would last after opening
I opened mine 15 months ago, used it twice at various times since and it’s as good as new since the top really screws down tight to keep the air out. Did a great job on the plastics of my 2005 997 and they’re still looking great for a car that’s kept outside in all weathers. Small bottle but it really does go a long way and very easy to apply.
💪💪💪💪
You should have painted the calipers while you were in there...
Great video Ant Dawg! Diggin the Tee shirt bro! Did y’all film this on a Friday by chance?
Nice of Anthony to wash a TH-camr's car.
After all this
The secret is
Dont use the car 😂
I looked up who owns the rag company, apparently it’s a woman owned company I think that’s pretty cool guys! How funny I almost did this step with my Gyeon trim coat I decided to restore the trim on my Subaru in the back of my mind I was thinking I wonder if I could apply the stuff to my fender wells because lately they’re clean but I just been using a water-based dressing hyper dressing.
