    Cleaning wheel wells?

    Hi all,

    Wondering what your favorite product/technique is for cleaning wheel wells. A recent drive has picked up a lot of clay and dirt under the wells.

    Thanks for any ideas.

    agitate with wheel well brush or Daytona wheel brush on low profiles
    Rinse
    Let dry
    Dress with megs hyper dressing 1:1

    Rinseless:
    Spray with APC+ 1:1, let dwell 1-2 minutes
    Agitate with wheel well brush dipped in ONR
    Wipe down with old towels
    Check for thoroughness. Repeat if needed.
    Let dry

    Pretty much the same as everyone else....

    APC (I use various brands, nearly any quality one will work)
    Daytona speed master pro brush ( works on my SUV and lowered car with hardly any fender gap where other brushes won't fit)

    Any good APC, brush, and Wheel Woolie. Followed up with Optimum No Rinse and a old MF towel. Then a dressing of your choice.

    ONR works excellent on plastic under carriage trim pieces.

    Rinse down, spray APC, let it dwell, scrub with a fender brush, rinse again, allow to dry, dress with an undercarriage dressing of your choice!

    I use CG All Clean Plus, then CG Bare Bones to dress and cover up.
    Back to the full-time grind.
