What's special about undercarriage/wheel well dressing?

(CG Bare Bones, Adam's Invisible Undercarriage) What separates these products from other dressings that are not specifically advertised for the undercarriage/wheel wells?

wondered that myself

They don't need to be "wiped in" to dry clear. If you spray most dressings into an area, they will dry with white streaks.

I have both, they both work good but I am not fond of adam's grape smell, it looks fine however, dries nice too.

I find that stoners tire shine drys to a nice clear finish that does not need to be touched. Very nice product for using on the under body and its cheap. Can also be found locally.

I use megs edurance gel in my wheel wells. Last longer then spraying some aerosal tire shine in the wheel wells.

I just picked up 2 bottles of Adams stuff, I'll give it a go soon and see if I like it.

CG silk shine works awesome on wheel wells. i sprayed it on my wifes truck and thought it would be ruined in a day since she drives on a dirt road to our ranch daily. but after 3 weeks only light dust, washed off easy with water

I tried FK1 108 on my wells at the suggestion of a member of this site. Looks really good and dries without streaks. The main advantage to something like Barebones is for pros who go through a lot of product it can be purchased inexpensively by the gallon.

I wonder how something like CD-2 Engine Detailer would do in wheel wells. Anyone try it?

Dunbar42 · 05-17-08, 01:50

CD2 works really well but I don't think it's as cost effective. I only seemed to get 5-6 uses per can using them on wheel wells. I figure I can get 30-40 applications out of my $17 bottle of FK1 108 (plus it works great for the trim and dash too.) I save CD2 for the engine bay.

I don't see what is so hard about wiping down a water based dressing, unless you have very little clearance to deal with. I use Meg's Hyper Dressing at 3:1 and am very pleased with the results.
