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 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

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
 
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.

that`s a good point.. I have a speedmaster jr that broke off the handle. I planned on using it wrapped in a crappy micro or finding some other way to get to the tight fender areas...might just need to jack the cars up- could be easier - couple mins a side compared to becoming a contortionist
 
I have a Griots fender well brush for trucks and vehicles with enough clearance...and I got one of these for vehicles where that brush does not fit (made by a company called BirdRock):

I have used the Sonus Motor and Trim Kote in my fenderwells. It holds up better than most and is easy enough to apply.
