    Re: So APC or Degreaser all around safe versatile cleaner?

    It will clean them but not restore them. The plastic will age just like exterior trim. Dressing them like you did is a good way to keep them looking dark.

    They actually are clean, it’s just that the Super Degreaser is too aggressive of a cleaner for that particular plastic.

    Similar to when you sometimes run into tires that bloom after cleaning them with an aggressive tire cleaner, they’re clean but don’t exactly look like it once they dry. It’s because the cleaner is too aggressive on that particular surface. In both cases a dressing/protectant solves the issue.

    Re: So APC or Degreaser all around safe versatile cleaner?

    This is one reason I'm a fan of Optimum Power Clean - it doesn't seem to cause any of the chalkiness that some apc / degreaser can cause. Really seems to just clean well and give a nice surface to dress once rinsed clean. Yes, it's more expensive but it gives me peace of mind knowing that its unlikely to have any negative effects on automotive surfaces.

    Try out the Griot's Garge Undercarriage Spray. That should make the wheel well plastics look great and conceal the fading.
