    Wheel wells

    I am just curious to see what everyone is using on the plastic wheel wells. To clean and protect.

    I use APC to clean, any kind handy. And I use CG BareBones to dress. BareBones can be a sneaky good product IMO.
    Back to the full-time grind.

    Re: Wheel wells

    I have actually started doing wheels, tires and wheel wells last.

    -It saves me from using a 3rd bucket.
    -Saves soap.
    -I was getting water spots on the chrome wheels.
    -Not using anything I am concerned about getting on the paint

    My Yukon has enough clearance to squeeze my arm in there.
    It's faster than a brush and seems to be more thorough.

    I use the remaining Chemical Guys HoneyDew from the wash bucket with a black microfiber mitt, Mothers tire brush, Daytona Speedmaster Jr.

    After letting it air dry, I follow-up with Griot's Undercarriage Dressing. It is inexpensive and leaves a great, dark black color. It also makes future cleanings much easier.

    Meg's APC and then CG Barebones.. Noticed Meg's APC took off some of my black coating on the metal under my fender in the wheel well. Can see where I used the brush to agitate.

    To clean, I use LA Totally Awesome. I coated mine with CarPro DLux. Months later, still amazing! Highly recommend this method.

    Re: Wheel wells

    I use Mothers wheel well brush and my soap bucket, scrub the well then rinse the well. After I'm done washing I'll use tire dressing on an applicator to finish the wells. It's a temporary routine but I'll probably change to something more appropriate now that I'm switching to Meg's products.
