Wheel Well Cleaning

Exactly, which the main reason why my wheel wells are so dirty is from dust and dirt being stuck on them...I thought dressings do well to protect from dirt, but not water? :confused: Guess not..

dirt, gravel, water ..are all abrasives and unfortunately the only way to keep wheel wells looking good is to not drive:dnaughty

I normaly spray them out really well with a presure washer, get all the big dirt off I then spray a good apc, mixed strongly. (right now im using p21s total auto wash). I let it sit while i suds up the whole car. When i go to rinse the car, i rinse the wheel wells out with a presure washer again, this cleans them really well. From here youo will still see them, and they dont look pretty. They need to be dressed. For this i use somthing cheap, since its the wheel wells. I know thats bad of me, but w.e. Its how i do it. I use either 303 (using up my stock to move onto optimum) or armour all becasue i can get it localy for cheap. It does a good job of dressing them, whitout any ill effect.

This is just how i do it, give it a shot, it should work

I do the same thing.

Dang it! Life's hard :)

As stated by several use whatever tool you that fits clean the wells, toilet brush, sponge, wash mitt, etc. and once clean treat them (I like PB's BnB, but whatever tire/trim shine you have should work), because as noted above clean/treated wells do seem to clean up much easier the next time.
 
I just spray mine down with water as best as I can. It's really hard to get in there with the 19's on and you really can't see the wheel wells with those on either. The rear wheel wells on my car have a type of carpet attatched to them, so any dressing wouldn't be too good anyways.
