Default Plastic front wheelwells

What does everybody use to clean them and keep them looking clean? I seen on "TRUCKS" that they sprayed something on them to help keep them looking black and clean even after a day of muddin'. Does anybody know what that was?

An old car show trick that I've picked up over the years is semi-gloss black paint!!! No matter how much you scrub and scrub, there's always some sort of substance that seems to stain the plastic.

A quick shot of semi-gloss black matches the factory finish of the wheelwells and leaves a nice clean, non-glossy surface that looks great!

I live on the north east side of town off of 59N inside the beltway. Well it started raining where I live last night and didn't stop until about 5:00am. I didn't get a chance to watch the news until after I washed the truck. Then after I finished, I saw a lot of "severe thunderstorm" bulletins.
