toyotaguy,
Would you mind sharing how you went about cleaning the wheelwells? I always start by hosing them out real good and then using a microfiber towel dipped in soap and water I clean them by hand. However, I did see a brush sold by Autogeek made specifically for wheelwells (has a long angled handle) that I`m thinking about purchasing. Do you use this brush or something similar?

I am curious if you dressed both passenger side tires? The rear looks pretty dry.
What did you use on the tires? They seem to have an OE like finish, like they are new.

for the wheel wells....you are going to laugh....maybe
spray them down with water as I wash the rest of the car....let it be...dry it, detail it, then at the end hit the wheel wells with some meguiars hyper dressing cut 3:1 liberally, and wipe/spread around with a terry cloth towel...the terry cloth and the hyper mix cuts through the dirt and grime suprisingly...for really dirty ones, I have a couple brushes that I use, then repeat the above...

they are both dressed with eagle one tire shine...in person you can tell as they are more shiney...i wanted everything to shine and look wet...otherwise I would have used a more matte finishing dressing
