My white nissan Xterra is looking great now with exception to a couple of eyesores. The first is these wheel wells. I considered black paint on the exposed frame rail and a rubberized undercoating on the white exposed body, and some sort of dressing on the plastics. I am a little concerned that by cleaning up the frame rail and exposed body that I will make the other dirty parts more obvious and maybe end up with something that looks allot worse than it does now. What do you think?

Also I did mention another eyesore which is this little space b/w the body and three of my windows. I need to get in there to remove a couple pieces of fall out. I thought about using some scotch green scouring pads because the marring would be hard to notice in there but before I did anything stupid, I wanted to ask the group.

Man, those do not look fun. I would probably use the rubberized undercoating in the entire wheel well leaving the lip white. I have used SEM`s rubberized undercoating in wheel wells and it turned out great. I cleaned everything really well first and then gave them a rub down with prep-sol. Make sure everything is DRY. I know Dwayne carries the SEM line so he can probably help you out there.

On that area in the rear, I would either use a boars hair brush to get in the crack or take an old credit card and wrap a MF over it and scrub away.

Hope this helps!!
