Felt rear wheel wells?

[Mike Honcho]

My Lexus has normal plastic front wheel well liners. No problem cleaning. The rears are a felt-like material. Big problem cleaning. All kinds of debris stick to it like a magnet. Any ideas on how to clean these?

[Real Riders]

I blot the felt with a rag soaked in ONR to remove as much as i can. Then I spray it with aerosol dressing. It is still not perfect

I use the Mothers red wheel well brush, does pretty good.

My wife's Hyundai Sonata has the same felt-like material on the rear wells. Drives me nuts for the same reasons you've described. I take a small brush to it - not ideal but it's a dd.

Just flush it with a hose,keep the nozzle 2 inches away on fan spray it flushes everything stuck to it and beyond.

It's hard to get any type of brush in there since the clearance is so tight. Flushing with the hose didn't help at all, it's a pretty coarse felt material. I'll try my floor jack next time to increase the clearance and try and "brush" the felt clean.

It's mostly mulch and pine straw needles that get stuck in it.

Power washer up close and personal works ok on wife's Toyota. Amazing the amount of sand that just keeps coming out during the winter washes.

I use a combination of the water nozzle on jet mode and a ez detail brush and/or the mothers red wheel brush

I get it good and soapy wet then brush it well. I have a tight clearance too but can come in from the bottom of the well with my brush. Works for me.

After the debris removal:
-Power Flush (if needed/so desired)
-Then, (when dry): 303 Fabric Guard

Sounds good. I'll try the Mothers Red Brush.
