Wheel Wells

I USE APC THEN POWERWASH AND DRESS WITH SOLVENT BASED DRESSING .. I LIKE SOLVENT BASED BECAUSE ITS REAL SHINY .
 
I hose mine out, use a cleaner if necessary. Then I spray tire dressing in them to make them look really good. :cool
 
Clean: MEGS APC+.

Treat: Megs Engine Kote.
Better than silicone treatments as it dries hard and does not pick-up as much sand/dirt as other dressings.

In fact, I've been using EK for all suspension detailing except for rubber bellows etc on stearing assy, which then I use 303. Dries nice and flat and looks darn good.

For shows: Megs #40 or Stoner MSLT anything slightly glossy, not too glossy though.

Regards,

Deanski
 
EK is going to be discontinued but I investigated a tip and took a look at Mop n Glo floor shine to dress thr wheels. The two products look extremely similar so when my EK is gone Im going to be using Mop n Glo or its equivalent in a spray bottle

Mop n Glo on wheels? I've never heard that one before!! I'd like to see pics of the results if you try that.
 
:o Sorry, meant to say wheel wells. A good sealnt should do well on wheels themselves. I picked up some Mothers Clear Coat wheel polish recently and really like the results: silky smooth feel, very high gloss shine

Oh ok wheel wells with Mop N Glo. I've used mop n glo for it's intended purpose and I guess it would probably do well in the wheel wells, just never thought of it that way.
 
Me neither, apparently its a tip that made its way to Autopia from other boards. On Autopia I have a photo of the two side by side in cups, the MnG looks a tan color and smells lemony whie the EK is white and smells very strong, "waxy" . Other than that they seem liike very similar substances.
 
The wheel wells of my Accord are lined with a sort of fiber material that seems to have a soft surface. Power washing leaves them looking kind of 'whitish/greyish' looking and it's not really all that nice to look at.

Does anyone have experience with cleaning and dressing this type of wheel well?? Sorry if this is a stupid question.

Thanks.
 
Clean them as best as you can using your favorite APC and a terry towel. Hose them real well and let them air dry. Once dry, spray them with flat black spraypaint and allow it to dry. Once dry, dress 'em with your favorite dressing. Every so often, repeat these steps if the standard washing and dressing isn't working, of if the paint starts to chip or flake.

It is also not a bad idea if your gonna do this to apply a coat of wax to the vehicle and leave it there untill after your done spraying, this helps keep any over-spray from sticking to the paint.
