ok, just found this out. I'm sure everyone already know's, but it works great to clean the fender wells (sp?) in the front. The black plastic stuff that is alway's a nasty brownish color even after soap and water.... Well, I figured something that will clean them to better than new condition.

 

And it is?

 

Oh ya...



Carpet Cleaner. Just happened to try some, and it worked great. I sprayed it all over the area like I was painting it, let is set for about 30 seconds while I got some shop towels, then wiped it down with a few towels and it was good to go. Now that its dried, it still looks great. Very dark black and shiny. I'll update as a few miles are put on, and will post pics up for everyone to see.



Anyone see a downside to this?

 

Armorall Tire Spray Foam works great too.

 

Yep, tire foam user here too.

 

Does the tire foam stuff attract dirt like the shinny tire stuff?

 

I dont think so. It seems to work great and give a good shine to the wells. The amorall stuff seems to have a good cleaning component to it that gets a lot of the grit out. I usually spray and then wipe down. Lasts pretty long.

 

Armour All Tire spray here. Not the foam but it works just as good and doesnt take as much as foam. :o

 

armorall here too, damn it makes it look so good all hail king armorall

 

its one thing their products are good for.

 

simple green works like a charm too!

 

Nope.

 

As for adverse effects from carpet cleaner... hard to say. I'm not familiar with how it might react with plastic/rubber like what is found in our wheel wells.

In my opinion, cleaning wheel wells is one of the single most important things to do in really making the appearance of a vehicle stand out from the rest.

As for dressings in the wells, I don't have a favorite. In fact, this is where dressings I don't like go to die. In short, if I experiment with a dressing and it falls short of making it into the starting lineup, odds are that it'll end up 'blacking out' a wheel well.

You mean I'm supposed to clean under there?!

 

Maybe this will get all of the goodyear rubber out of my rear fender wells.
