If you leave in a place that experiences winter, like I do, you might what to clean and dress your wheel wells. Use a good degreaser, some dish soap and some brushes and clean the hell out of them. Wash all of that road salt off of your suspension and fender walls. Dry everything and then spray with some tire foam or you can try No Touch Wet & Protect. That's what I used. Good luck!

I wish we had more of a winter in Texas. :cry:
But good idea for those who do have a winter.

I just hose down the dirt but never scrub them. I think I'll be just fine since we don't have ice on the road. :D

It's actually a good idea to do every once in a while even if you don't have a winter. Wheel wells can get nasty anyway! Rain, dust, sand, etc. It all gets in there

Lookin good, I always love the wheel wells after degreasing/scrubbing and dressing them :D

I personally use Armor All Tire Foam (regular) for the wells and engine bay... but basically any tire shine will work. This is one place where you can buy the cheaper tire shine with no problems.

A lot of people skip over them, but it really completes the look of a detailed car... once you start noticing faded/dirty wells, all you'll be able to do is :tap: at all the cars in a parking lot lol
