So, I keep cleaning the tahoe and never clean the wheel well. It looks like crap, so i tried and cleaner/degreaser and that seemed to not work at all. Any suggestions from you guys on what will bring back that nice black look?

Washing a truck but not the wheel liners doesnt look good. Try Meguiars back to black Well at least I think thats what its called lol. Will look like new. Or even ArmorAll.

I use a brush to clean them and then i spray em down with a foaming tire shine. It`s cheap and looks great.

What did you paint them with? Krylon plastics or something of the sort??

Soakem in CD-2, then pressure wash them clean.

Then occasionally spray some of this magical fluid on them, they will be shiny and jet black 24/7

Will try this too. Thanks!

Anyways, thanks bud i appreciate it!
