Did I scrub off something I should not have with Purple Power 1:1 on my wheel well? :eek:
Thank You

Don`t worry too much about it. You can touch it up with spray can stuff.

Many manufacturers just leave it as as the base color.
If it were me, I would use rubberized undercoating. Its cheap, easy to apply.
If you want an acoustical upgrade, you can apply SecondSkins Spectrum.
I know its too late... but I usually just use a good stiff brush and car wash in wheel wells. Its safe and doesn`t require much more work than using APC.

Every two years I go to my local auto parts store and get either the bed liner or wheel well rubberized coating to spray in my wheel wells when the color fades...easy to apply and looks great. I think its around $8 a can but I`m not sure, but I would look into it if you wanted to reapply the undercoating. If you choose to do it, just put something over the tire and anything else you don`t want coated just in case you spray something you didn`t want to..

thanks for all of the replies
Most of the undercoating applied on the assembly line is wax-based. Just about any strong degreaser will remove it.
