a new trick!

[budinsc]

hey guys! i made a neat discovery this week on making the wheel wells look like factory new. when i detail the wheels on my wifes 07 mb i always try to get the fender liners in the same condition but nothing ever worked for any length of time.

this last time i sprayed the wells with brown royal wheel cleaner and removed it with a 1600psi gas pressure washer after letting the cleaner dwell for several minutes. they came very very clean and then i dried the wells with my new Christmas present a master blaster mb3cd which is a fabulous detailing tool for whole car drying.

now for the blue bird from heaven! after taping off the painted fender edges i coated the wells with with cd-2 engine detailer which left a very tough satin clear coat that makes the liners look factory fresh. even after a week of hard freeway driving and 2 days of rain the new finish looks wonderful. hope this helps.

I like CD2. Not always the best at getting it applied evenly though...

This is the first time I've ever heard of this product :

-In 1997 Turtle Wax acquired Alemite CD-2 Co., a firm founded in 1942 and based in Arlington Heights, Illinois. In this deal, Turtle Wax gained the CD-2 line.

-I've used it, with excellent results, for many projects over the years....Sometimes it's been hard to locate for purchasing, though.


-Recently, AGO Forum member: C. Charles Hahn (Charlie) used a CD-2 product for this project...

Again, Optimum Power Clean was used, this time at 1:1 dilution, along with a siphon-fed compressed air cleaning gun to blast away the soiling and reveal a fresh clean result. Dressing was compliments of CD2 Engine Detailer, seen here freshly applied:

Once the engine had dried and been wiped down, restoration of a factory fresh appearance was complete:

Never thought of using CD2 on the wheel wells. I've used CG Black on Black and it worked great and lasted a few weeks

[604_Snooze]

is it hard to find CD2 nowadays?

[Larry A]

To hard to find and to expensive for wheel wells. I use just tire dressing for wheel well dressing . If you can find CD2, and have the money ," what the hell"

Sonus Motor and Trim Kote works way better for me and it lasts longer IME.

[Rsurfer]

Love Bare Bones for fender wells.

[shoeless89]

I've used both Sonus Trim and Motor Kote as well as CD2. I like them both, I prefer CD2. It does a great job and has been my go to product for wheel wells for a while now
