Care and Maintenance
Proper care and routine maintenance are essential to preserve the appearance, performance, and longevity of your Gatorback mud flaps. While these flaps are built using premium materials like virgin rubber and 304 stainless steel for maximum durability, even the toughest components can degrade over time if exposed to harsh elements without proper upkeep. Here's how to care for each part of your mud flaps:
Rubber Flaps
The heavy-duty rubber used in Gatorback mud flaps is designed to withstand extreme temperatures, road debris, UV rays, and chemicals commonly found on road surfaces. However, consistent cleaning and protection will extend its lifespan and keep it looking like new.
- Cleaning: Wash the rubber flaps regularly using mild car wash soap and warm water. Use a soft-bristle brush or sponge to remove any caked-on mud, road salt, or tar.
- Drying: After washing, rinse thoroughly and dry with a microfiber towel to prevent water spots or streaking.
- Protection: You can apply a water-based rubber conditioner or UV protectant to help maintain flexibility and color. Avoid petroleum- or silicone-based tire shines, which can degrade rubber over time and leave behind a greasy residue that attracts dust.
- Seasonal Maintenance: During winter or in areas with salted roads, increase cleaning frequency to prevent buildup that may dry out or damage the rubber.
304 Stainless Steel Plates and Brackets
Although 304 stainless steel offers excellent resistance to corrosion, it is not completely immune to discoloration or surface rust—especially in environments with high humidity, salt exposure, or industrial pollution. The key to keeping the stainless components looking their best is consistent cleaning and protection.
- Cleaning: Use a soft microfiber cloth with a non-abrasive soap or a cleaner safe for stainless steel or chrome. Avoid harsh chemicals or acids (like bleach or mineral acid-based cleaners), as these can break down the protective chromium oxide layer on the steel surface.
- Polishing: If mild surface rust or staining appears, use a brass, silver, or chrome polish—not steel wool—to gently remove it. Always polish in the direction of the grain to maintain a smooth finish.
- Protective Coating: After cleaning, apply a high-quality automotive wax or synthetic sealant to the stainless steel plate and brackets. This forms a barrier against moisture, road grime, and corrosive materials such as chloride salts and calcium chloride.
- Avoid Contamination: Never store or transport stainless steel components in direct contact with plain steel or iron parts. These can cause cross-contamination and lead to galvanic corrosion.
- Inspect Frequently: Especially in marine or winter environments, check the plates and brackets often for signs of corrosion or contamination. Address any issues promptly to prevent pitting or permanent staining.
General Maintenance Tips
- Never use steel wool, sandpaper, or abrasive pads on any part of the mud flaps—these will scratch the stainless surface and compromise its corrosion resistance.
- After off-road driving or driving through construction zones, inspect the mud flaps for embedded debris and clean them as soon as possible.
- During seasonal changes, inspect mounting hardware to ensure all bolts and brackets remain tight and free from rust or damage.
- If the vehicle is stored for an extended period, clean the mud flaps thoroughly and ensure they are dry before storage to avoid corrosion.
By taking these preventative steps and maintaining your Gatorback mud flaps regularly, you'll ensure that both the rubber and stainless steel components stay in peak condition—offering maximum protection and maintaining their visual appeal for the life of your vehicle.
