wheel well cleaning
I get my car all clean and looking good , But the dam wheel wells look like chit . How can I keep them from turning dirt color longer . Ive tried spraying them with tire shine , but thats seems to just collect road dirt faster
I use regular ol' Armor All - it's a matte sheen and lasts a couple weeks if you're not driving in the rain, plus it's cheap. I used to use 303 (which was great), but 303 is $$$, so no more.
They really won't look good until you scrub them. I use an old wash mitt to scrub what I can reach. Then once every 1/4, I take off the wheels and get in there with some good soap and water with a scrub brush. I finish it off with a little armor all.
I clean my wheel wells regularly for car shows. Best way is to take off your wheel and get in there w/ a sponge and brush. As far as armor all & what have you...don't use anything. It will only collect dirt faster.

Thats what Ive learned , if you spray it with some thing . It just collects dirt faster . There is one thing Im going to try . Its called Back to Black . Its for black plastic trim that has faded from the sun . I used to use it on my plastic trim on the truck . Worked good and didnt seem oily and dried . It kept the plastic a dark black for months

I use Tire Shine, Turtle Wax Tire Stuff, etc. etc...whatever is cheap. Like picus, I used to use the pricier stuff in the wheel wells but now go for whatever is cheap. If you think it is bad on the G, you should see my SUV which has HUGE wheel wells that are incredibly visible.
