When I can’t stand them any longer, they’re replaced.
We were thinking we would only use the fender covers in a rafting up scenario or to cover the ugly and old fenders when not in use. They are easily removable.I'm assuming some on this thread have never locked up, or down, in some of the LARGE concrete walled locks on the TN River or Tenn-Tom Waterway, or other river systems - large ie 70-95' tall. As you are going up and the swirling water pushes your boat against the grimy concrete walls - the fenders are crushed (ours are 12" dia. Taylors), and they take a real beating. It takes four of these fenders (on one side) in these locks to keep the boat off the walls. Any covers would be shredded in short order, and any white fenders will be dark soon.
Can anyone advise me as to what will easily clean dirty white fenders?
Hope there is a product available to make this chore easier.
Thanks for any advice.

Close as i could get with a quick search....
Newbie here. Recently purchased a 32’ Party Cruiser hard top that is serving us well as a starter cruiser on canals, lakes and rivers. Fenders were disgusting, beyond cleaning with all the cleaners in the Universe. Spray painted them and they are temporarily respectable.
I like how you think. When the ashtray is full buy a new car.When I can’t stand them any longer, they’re replaced.
@RT Firefly LOL regarding temporarily respectable people.
@ Art. Thanks. Just loaded up a few more pictures.
