    Fender Well Dressing

    **there is a poll but if you are on tapatalk just comment with your choice


    Ok, for those of you who have seen my posts, you probably notice I suck at fender wells and normally don`t even address them on cars...this is an area I plan on changing

    I have purchased a mothers fender well brush and one of those long remote trigger sprayers so I can get under the tight to reach barrels.

    I`m looking at purchasing

    Chemical Guys Bare Bones Undercarriage Spray

    or

    Griot`s Garage Undercarriage Spray

    I am considering buying a gallon of one of these since I know I need to be dressing fender wells.

    BUT I was thinking, I DO have Hydro2 Lite and have used it with good success on fender wells before...

    Should I get

    1)Bare Bones,
    2)Griots Undercarraige
    3)keep using Hydro2lite
    4)or what is another choice I am missing?

    I`ve heard good things about hyper dressing. When I do fender wells I use CG VRP(same thing I use on tires)

    I never thought about that- I still have 3/4 of my gallon of the liquid left - does it matter if its tap water?

    I can give it a shot on my truck- I`m just kind of afraid of drip down onto the top of the tires...but I imagine that`s going to happen with anything

    tap water is fine .. fine mist .. I like it out of a garden sprayer .. it sticks and doesn`t go anywhere

    I will have to give this a shot - I`m imagining the gel wouldn`t cut with water too well ? so I will try the liquid

    Hyper dressing works great but not durable like the solvent based shine and slime products

    im okay with sacrificing durability as long as the product used isn`t greasy or slimey. that`s why I was thinking Hydro2 lite is a good choice but its kind of expensive for an fender well dressing

    I`m curious about trying this on wheel wells:

    CQuartz DLux Plastic & Wheel Coating
    Treat it like it`s the only one in the world.

    Re: Fender Well Dressing

    Since it`s fender wells and not tires, meaning it`s a "very dirty" area anyways and not too visible, i`ve used solvent based dressings for durability. I currently use Carpro PERL with good results . With the sticky/solvent dressings i used to go like a month or more without having to refresh the coat and with PERL i just mist the area and wipe with a towel until everything`s covered. Either choice (water based/solvent) makes cleaning that area very easy during maintenance, a pressure rinse off takes care of 90% plus of whatever dirt gets under there in between your maintenance washes.

    On the Mothers Brush - i have one of those and they are pretty good when you have space (trucks), but for cars i`ve found it to be more uncomfortable than convenient, so i switched to using a combination of MF towel and wheel woolies to get in there when clearance is low.

    Hydro

    Bnb = darker richer
