This area has been the only time I use a cheap spray dressing you could use prety much anything that is a shine product just make sure you mist it...

Clean with ARO ... agitate well .... use Griots Undercarriage Spray or Stoners Trim Shine.

Megs HD works wonders on wheel wells after being cleaned well with an APC.

If you're looking for something local then just grab a can of tire foam and spray away.

I use a product callede Bare Bones from the Chemical Guys. It's not sold here at AG, but it's pretty descent stuff.

+1 on using whatever you're using for tires, or a quick spritz of aerosol tire foam. With road-spray, etc., I find it tough to get anything to last -on- the wheels much less the plastic in the well.

I use to buy the specialty undercarriage sprays, but even they don't last much longer than a week at the absolute most. Now I just pick up any tire shine or dressing that is on sale and use it. No sense in wasting expensive product like that. I was lucky and found Megs Hot Shine on clearance at Target for $1 per bottle. So I’m stocked up for a while.

Now, if you have a new car, or at least a car that has perfectly clean wheel wells, you can use Opti-Coat or CQ to coat the plastic liners. I did this on my mom's brand new car on advice from Dubbin, and it works awesome. They aren't super shiny, but after a simple spray down, and maybe some agitation if they are really bad, they look brand new.

.

i use the same or whatever i can find on clearance. i find the best applicator pad to be an old 5.5 or 6.5 pad that you don't use anymore or is too beat up to use.
