    Wheel wells

    What is the best product and method to keep wheel wells clean and looking black? I have tried several thing and Wolfgangs has by far been the best and longest lasting. I will continue to use but am open to all suggestions.

    I generally dont do anything because nothing is really going to last and they are not very easily seen.

    Unless you're pulling the wheels off and coating with Dlux or similar, any spray dressing is your best bet.

    Traditional plastic inner fender wells I have coated with DLUX for a more "semi-permanent" way to make them easier to clean. On fabric wells, I've tried with some limited success the 303 fabric. They clean well but sticks and such still are a pain

    Tried them don't work very good and on a pickup they are very visible and even when truck is clean if wells are dirty it is very noticeable

    I like Meguiars Tire Foam on the black plastic. The rear wells on my truck are painted body color and I've been putting Collinite 845 on them. Looks great!

    Griots under carriage spray works well. If you want something longer lasting, but takes more time to use, use Dlux for sure.
