Wheelwell Detailing

**arjo.reich** · 02-16-2013, 02:34 AM

I had only intended to pull the front wheels off my ride to clean the rims thoroughly - which, to me, means I need to get all the brake dust off the inside of the rims as well - and somewhere along the line I decided I would clean the wheelwells also.

It was fun but took forever, in my typical fashion, lol.

Very nice transformation, good job bud! Did you use anything to seal the wheel wells with anyhing? (Nuba/sealant/ect)

Guess I should of stated ** on the metal/painted areas. Not the liner.

Wow! By the way, what exactly can you use on wheel wells? Mine are plastic-lined and I have used a sealant, but it gives the black plastic a gray tint. Also, what can be used on wheel wells that are not lined?

I've been using meguiars m40. Hyper dressing works too.

I've been using the cheapest aerosol tire cleaner (I can find at the time). Just spray away.

May not be the 'best' method, but it seems to work well.

I used Meg's Extreme Black and shone my 1000W spotlight on it for a while to cure / dry it out before buffing it out with an old terry cloth applicator.

I'm curious to see how long it takes to get gunked beck up

Nice clean wheel wells. It does take time to even do them reasonably well.

I clean with grime reaper and a pressure washer and then dress with either bare bones or GG. Makes a big difference.
