Hey everyone, what is your go to for cleaning fenders?
The ones on my new to me Pearson are really gross, before I use the wrong product, I thought I might ask what you use?
I have some Oxalic acid in powder I can use, just not sure it will be safe.

You can use Comet, Barkeeper's Friend (which has Oxalic Acid), Mineral Spirits and/or a Magic Eraser. Don't use Acetone or other strong solvents. Oxalic acid by itself is probably fine too.

Never tried Tilex. I use SOS pads.

I use simple green on mine, does a decent job. Have never tried tilex: however, looks good. I would avoid using abrasive powders and pads; causes too much scratching that will allow more stains that are embedded in the surface that will be harder to clean.

LA's Awesome Cleaner Degreaser works but so does a pressure washer. Just start back a bit and expect to get splashed. I prop it against something like a curb and put my foot on the rope to keep the pressure from blowing the fender away.
