    Now Bob you're killin' me here!

    I've used corn (from a can), and doughballs, but burlap and WD-40 is a new one for sure!

    Sorry to hijack...
    I use barebones and have always had good results. Just curious for cleaning and agitation what's the norm? My process to follow:
    Pressure wash 60* nozzle to remove any large stuck on particles. Good off for tar adhered to *plastic* liners agitate with 20" "soft"/flared brush again on plastic liners rinse with pressure and dress.
    *metal* painted fender liners high pressure rinse down remove particles bare bones or for stubborn tar use trix. Agitate with 28/20" bores hair brush high pressure rinse.

    Sound up to par with y'all's process? Faster way? Better way? Am I doing it the wrong way haha
    Thanks everyone

    Bare bones, trix, and cg apc citrus are all items I use dep on what needs to be cleaned/removed.

    -My Grandpa’s the one that taught me that, even though catfish would eat about anything going,
    fish were kinda sensitive to: 'little boy smells' that came from:
    Wallering about in the dirt, pickin’ boogers, not being: "the best of aim" down at the outhouse, etc…
    -And that WD-40 helped cover-up 'those aromas' when sprayed on 'burlap-lures', as it were.

    Now…I knew, back then, of WD-40’s abilities on freeing-up rusted bolts&nuts on farm equipment
    and Grandpa’s old jalopy…But it wasn’t until I’d moved to the big city and attended College that I
    found out more about WD-40…Even how it helped me as a kid in regards to catfishing.

    -Suffice it to say that I learned WD-40 has an abundance of alkanes (Hydrocarbons with the formulas: CxH2x+2n).
    I discovered that this alkane-information was useful in at least two "fishing-ways" (I & II);
    and, at least one "Collegiate-way" (III)...As follows:

    I.)
    Ever tie a cricket, grasshopper, stinkbug, or other creepy-crawler on a fish hook?

    Well…Many alkanes are naturally produced by living creatures. One of those naturally occurring alkanes found
    in WD-40 is: Undecane...part of the pheromone trail left by cockroaches.

    -No wonder WD-40 drove the catfish into a froth!!

    II.)
    -Another alkane in WD-40 is: Nonane.
    -Nonane-molecules’ hydrogen atoms "don’t hold a charge" (can’t connect/bond to H20, essentially meaning water-repellant).
    -That’s how the WD-40’ed piece-of-burlap stayed ‘dry-enough’ to hide the fishhook from the Big Cats.
    -And…Afterall…WD-40 stands for water displacement, 40th attempt.

    III.)
    Since WD-40 is packed full of "mineral oil"…It wasn’t too big of a stretch for us seeking: "Higher-education"
    To fashion a few home-made lava-lamps for those late night: Study-Sessions

    If your talking about just "dressing" your wheel well then I vote for CG BareBones, Sonus, Trim & motor Kote.


    If you truly want to re-finish them then look into Wurth High Build UnderBody UnderSeal.

    Another option that I used was roll on bed liner.
