Do you understand I am talking about carpeted wheel wells?

I understand exactly what you’re talking about. The Kia parked outside has carpeted wheel wells. They just never get That dirty. The dirt that does accumulate on them comes off fairly easy with APC and a wheel well brush. But like I said it’s never crazy dirty nor have any carpeted wheel wells that I can remember having to clean.

I’ve had more issues getting painted wheel wells perfectly clean. Magic Eraser is my secret weapon for those cases.

I'm not understanding why someone would use carpet on wheel wheels? Please explain like I'm 5 years old.

For 1 they stay black, so they look good vs. plastic which can fade and turn gray.

For noise reduction because tire noise is known to bother certain people who are into that subject.

Maybe they’d be able to explain why some vehicles only have carpet in the rear wheel wells but not the front.

My dad's Jeep has carpeted wheel wells on all four wells. I do what Eldo does and use a brush and APC when needed. I never let them get too dirty. I like not having to dress them. It saves product.

If the vehicle doesn't see a dirt road they're not bad. As I mentioned, driving down a dirt road the consistency of gumbo will make for a saturated fabric. Spraying that out of the wheel wells is like the never ending story.

Does anyone besides Bill D use a brush?

I see a UK detailer use a tornado type head for his pressure washer the one that you clean concrete with.

I’ve got one of those that came with my power washer. It’s sat on my work bench for years never used. I will try it next time, thanks.

Brushes are a waste of time........
Short handled gun with a turbo tip is the best solution


Edit:


For those that are making suggestions on how to clean this issue with no experience...

County/country roads (stone and dirt) where most of the problem is coming from, has a layer of "Limestone FINES"... this mixes with dirt/grass/sticks.
what does this create......CEMENT!

The people that have dealt with this no exactly what I'm talking about...

I’m thankful I don’t live anywhere near a country road

You ain't kidding...I spent 2 and a 1/2 hours on my truck Sunday and drove 50 feet past my mailbox on the way to town and the dust was falling in sheets off my back tail gate
