Re: Cleaning wheels wells
I see you've got three posts under your belt, so welcome to the forum. There are a variety of tire cleaner/dressing that Autogeek sells:
As far as a tire cleaner and wheel wells, I recommend Optimum Power Clean:
Optimum Power Clean All Purpose Cleaner 17 oz. New & Improved!
For tire dressings:
Tire Dressings, rubber protectants, tire shine
Some that I recommend are:
Tire Dressings, rubber protectants, tire shine
Wolfgang Black Diamond Tire Gel this thick gel penetrates beneath the surface to give your tires a long-lasting true glow!
You'll have to take a look around the store and find out which one you like the best. If you don't want to commit to a certain dressing, AG has some free samples with every order, of the tire dressing mentioned above.

Re: Cleaning wheels wells
For wheel wells, you can use your favorite tire cleaner or APC followed up with something like CG Barebones or Griot's Undercarriage Spray.

Yeah my bad...I went back and edited my response. I use the Optimum Power clean and a MF wash mit. Works pretty good. I think Mothers has a wheel well brush...let me see if I can find it.

OPC and a wheel well brush. Then dress with 303 aerospace or something similar.

Re: Cleaning wheels wells
A spray of APC followed with a stiff brush will work fine but a pressure washer makes it so much easier. Even a cheap 1600psi model will clean them remarkably well. I have taken to spraying an acrylic dressing on them after cleaning and they are much easier to keep clean afterwards.

Re: Cleaning wheels wells
I use simple green and an old bug sponge. Then I use a cheap foaming tire spray (Costco) Comes in 4 packs.
This is done prior to the wash, so the tires and wheel wells get the foam. Wash the car, and dress the tires after.
