To extend their lifespan, follow that up with a protective spray. It creates a barrier and helps with dirt repelling.
I think keeping an eye on them in the summer is crucial too. Sun can really take a toll, especially if they are not regularly cared for.
Any recommendations for good protective sprays? I want to make sure I’m using the right product.
I’ve used a silicone spray which worked pretty well. Just make sure it’s compatible with your mud flap material.
In my opinion, if they are starting to crack, just replace them instead of trying to salvage. It’s safer that way.
Totally agree! Long term safety over short term savings.
What about seasonal maintenance? Is there a time of year that’s better to check or replace?
Good point! I usually do a thorough check before winter. It helps avoid unexpected damage during the harsh weather.
I’ll definitely have to start doing that! Great advice, everyone.

Just try not to go overboard, or you might end up with more mud flaps than you know what to do with! Though that could be a fun problem!
