Best way to wash wheel wells??

[Toytruckmike]

Hey, I have tried to find this by searching, but haven`t seen any detailed descriptions.
What methods do you use to clean the wheel wells that haven`t ever been cleaned. They really stand out on trucks and I have sprayed them with a wet look stuff before, but that doesn`t last long. The inner parts of my fender flares are white and really don`t clean easily.
Just paid off my Tacoma and am planning to give it a deep cleansing soon.
Thanks in advance!

Power washer, if not, APC and a lot of elbow grease.

A good degeaser and brush ,nylon bug sponge or safescrub sold here .

Is the surface texured or flat ,pics would help.

I spray on APC full strength and let dwell. Then use a long handle brush to agitate the surface then power wash. If you don`t have a power washer then regular hose will work but you`ll need to scrub a tad more.

I dress the wells once dry with Poorboys Bold and Bright come out perfect every time for me

definitely get a long handled brush. i recently took a chunk out of my hand while scrubbing wheel wells. griots makes a good under carriage cleaner too.

I love using Amazing Roll-Off (ARO) with a Long Handle Tire/Wheel Brush which leaves a great clean matte finish and you can top it off with Chemical Guys Bare Bones Undercarriage Spray.

Does that confirm to the contours of a wheel well? The wells I see are usually molded with pockets, etc.

I just a good rag for a deep clean to really scrub. Brushes get rid of surface stuff not the real tough stuff even after using something like OPC.

Wheel Woolies were discontinued the last time I checked

If the wheel wells have a lot of oil or grease on them, a good Degreaser works best for me. I like to use Meguiars Super Degreaser, it really kills grease, and rinses clean with not a lot of foaming and stuff. Sometimes I use a brush if it will fit, but the Super Degreaser works so good, most of the time, all I have to do is let the product dwell, and come back by with the pressure washer and it knocks everything out and rinses clean.

If you cut them like I do ! B u t they wouldnt work well in textured areas that are painted.

I hope that never happens, these things are awesome!

Its already happened. I ordered some last month and they had to refund my money because they were discontinued. Ran into the same thing at 2 other places.

That sucks. They`re actually trying to put together a group buy on another forum. Have you tried contacting the manufacturer?
