Detailing Wheel Wells
 
What do you guys use to clean them up and make them nice and black. I was thinking tire dressing and a brush? An aerosol spray of some kind would be nice or maybe even that foamy spray on tire shine. The front wheel wells are kind of like a fabric/carpet material.

After washing them with a sprayer I have been using a tire dressing in a spray bottle and then wiping the wheel well down with a rag to get rid of the excess (I do remove the wheels to do this), then I follow up with a little Mothers Showtime and wipe again. Seems to last for a couple months driving only on sunny dry days.

^^^good reply. I would go the extra mile though and remove the rims/tires, reason being is you can dress the inside of the tire and polish/wax the inner rim.

I use the foam tire shine as well. I just spray some on a towel and wipe the fender liner till she's clean. I do agree that removal of wheel is a big help.

I use tire shine or detailing spray on a rag. Not driving a car in the winter/rain makes it pretty easy to just give it a quick swipe and its clean. Heck I wash the car and its still looks like there is tire shine on the tires without even having to re-apply the tires are still so black and new.

Tire shine here aswell.:tup

Thanks for the tips guys. I'll give some tire shine a try but I am way too lazy to take the wheels off. I'm sure I can reach in there ok.

Good tips guys! Gotta question, The previous owner of my Shelby decided to undercoat with Krown rust control, it's everywhere even the wheel wells :banghead:
How can I get rid of this stuff:? it seems to return after a short ride...:?

SNAKEBITE 07-22-2011 06:11 PM

The only way I can think of removing it would be high pressure water or possibly steam.

Vapor Shelby 07-23-2011 07:22 AM

Yup what a Mess, I don't know why anyone would coat a car that spent it's life in a Garage, now that it's being driven the Krown rust control is seeping everywhere :banghead: I'm gonna pay off my pal and use his lift, he works at a GM dealership.. seems fitting to leave the greasy crap there :chacha:
