I recently got better fenders that worked all cracked up for my 225, but my question is whats the best way to clean that grime crap off?like a brillo pad and what kind of cleaner would be the best?

Get some Hot water, scrub brush and some Good ol Sunlight, will get all the dirt off...if its oxidixed you have to sand it out with 600-2000 grit wet/dry sand paper.

Scrape the fenders with a razer blade if there is a brown oxidization and then start wet sanding. like MTS said 600-2000. It worked out great for me.

I read somewhere that after you scrape with a razor blade, sand with very fine grit wet sandpaper, then go over the piece with a heat gun.

You heat it just enough to where you see Armour All just steam off a little when you spray it on.

Warning though, I haven't tried this myself.

Might want to try it on an old broken fender or other plastic part.
