    Re: Muddy carpeted wheel wells.. Any tips?

    Do you work from home? I have a zero mud policy, as I work from home. So far only once did a client leave and wash off the mud. But yes charge extra if they come in muddy, But unfortunately there is no way other than power washing them off

    As others have said, pressure washer is your best friend. Various tips can help. Personally I don’t tell the customer that I charge extra for that. I just work it into the price of the detail.

    Re: Muddy carpeted wheel wells.. Any tips?

    Has anyone ever tried spraying somekind of fabric protectant in there when they’re clean in order to make the following time easier?

    303 is available in gallons.
    ScotchGard is fairly cheap.
    Would it make a difference? Is it worth a shot?

    Excuse me if that sounds stupid, I don’t normally deal with carpeted wheel wells that get that dirty. The few muddy trucks I occasionally deal with simply have painted or plastic/rubber wheel wells.

    I have a test going right now with a product...I'll report back....it's a pie in the sky try.
    So far everything I have tried has not made one difference in the ability to speed the process up of thick mud removal

    Absolutely a pain. I had a Silverado with those and also live off of a dirt road. 15 minutes each with a power washer sounds correct.

    Holy crap what if you sprayed Neverwet on them?! It’s a fabric spray and seems to be cheap enough to give it a whirl?

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