I use Simply Green and the cheapest protectant. Remember, the wells will be filthy as soon as it hits the road.

hyper dressing - which btw can de diluted from 1:1-4:1, great for the wheel wells and engine and cost effective as well...

I use Zep Citrus at 4:1 to clean and then either a tire foam (I wait for the Simonize brand to go on 1/2 off at Crappy Tire[these are Canadian references]) or I use DG High gloss tire shine, or Adams US.

I've been using whatever I clean the tires with and my Daytona brush.
Then I wipe the wells with a foam appllicator and 303 AP. A couple spots I can't quite reach on some cars.

Hmm I forgot about 303.

I use Auto Magic water-based dressing that is diluted 1:1 if I'm not mistaken.
It's an inexpensive product that is not greasy.

OPC and Duragloss #265.

OPC, a brush, and usually an undercarriage spray (Griot's or CG). If you wash the wells with just soap next time, the UC spray actually does persist for several washes.

I need to try the spray for dressing wells. Seems easier

I clean wheel wells with the pressure washer which is the first pass in cleaning.
Then I come back by and spray Meguiars APC+ in the wells and rinse it when I do the wheels and tires.
Then, at end, use either Fade to Black in the spray can, or Bare Bones, both Chemical Guys products..
Also tried Meguiars Hyper-Dressing, and its ok, but not up to the quality of the Chemical Guys products I mentioned..

I wonder if All Seasons Dressing would be closer to equivalent.

Bare Bones is greasy beyond belief. I tried it once and never used it again. Aerosol products are the best for wheel wells, IMO.

I guess anything would be greasy beyond belief if too much was sprayed on a spot, right ? 
I dont seem to have that challenge with it - on the contrary if you want to see greasy, check out Griot's version of this stuff.
I like to use the Bare Bones on big, open wheel wells, because it covers alot of real estate faster in the correct spray bottle, and sometimes use the spray can of Fade to Black in smaller tighter, wheel wells; its more expensive to use, but it also works great for my purposes.
Bunky, dont know how the Meguiars All Season dressing will work, and dont have any to try out - perhaps someone else who has the product can post up ?

No, it's even greasy before it's sprayed out of the bottle.I guess anything would be greasy beyond belief if too much was sprayed on a spot, right ?

If you use it like a detail spray it is a mess. It is best to lightly spray and then use an applicator to given an even coat.

That makes sense. I like to use something that I can spray on and walk away(Duragloss #265, Stoners Trim Shine, etc...)

Same here. I bought CG Bare Bones from a vendor that tauted it as a spray on, walk away product. First use, I had runs everywhere. But wiping it evenly takes care of the problem and only takes a few more seconds to do. Although I've used aerosols before, I'm trying to move away from them. They're pricey by comparison and you use them up rather quickly.
