Care and Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your Bushwacker Pocket Style Fender Flares, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Regular Cleaning: Wash the fender flares regularly with mild automotive soap and water. Use a soft cloth or sponge to avoid scratching the smooth finish.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the Dura-Flex 2000 material and its UV protective coating.
- UV Protection: The flares are designed with built-in UV protection to prevent chalking and fading. However, occasional application of a non-abrasive UV protectant designed for automotive plastics can further extend their life and maintain their black finish.
- Inspect Hardware: Periodically check the installation hardware (bolts, clips) to ensure they remain tight and secure. Re-tighten if necessary, following recommended torque specifications.
- Damage Inspection: After off-road use or impacts, inspect the flares for any cracks, damage, or loose fittings. Address any issues promptly to prevent further damage.
