My Taylor Made Super Guard fenders are a good 10 years old, I do a decent amount of rafting up during the season and this year they started leaving marks on my boat and the boats I was tied up to. I'll confess to not cleaning them all that religiously. I called Taylor Made and they said to clean them with mineral spirits - holy cow what a difference! Took a little elbow grease but day and night change. They are still a bit banged & scratched up, but they have their shine back and no longer feel tacky - even the black ends came back (they had looked a little whitish). Just thought I'd pass that along.

Now buy yourself a set of fender covers and you will be good to go.
Fender covers not only protect your fenders, they protect your boat from the rubbing of the fenders. My waxing guy pointed this out to me and he was right.

David- I remember that thread, it was pretty simple. You go to Wal-Mart and for each two fenders, you buy one pair of cheap sweat pants in XL or larger depending on the size of your fenders. You cut the legs off of the sweat pants, turn the sweat pants inside out and run your fender line up thru the inside-out pants legs. You use cable ties and cinch the pants material around the fender line at the top of the fender. Then you roll the pants down to the bottom of the fender, cinch the material and install another cable tie, then cut off the excess pants leg material.
