Cleaning your wheel well

[CHOO CHOO]

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 dish soap and a scrub brush. then painted them, they stay much cleaner now

Diesel. That shit works wonders bro. Just leaves oily residue when it goes away...

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

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

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

I used rustolium semigloss. Only had to do it once in three plus years.

Mine look like crap on my 07. I need to lower it so you can't see them as good. Lol

As i look at the pic, i just thought: what would his tahoe look like dropped while keeping those tires on.......

Anyways, thanks bud i appreciate it!

So I just decided to give them a scrub down and spray paint them since I had the rustoleum gloss black in my house already (used on the bowties). Didn't turn out too bad. Now my spray painting ability sucks so I can't say it looks the best, but it is just a wheel well after all. Thanks everyone for all the insight!!

You can get Adams undercarage spray and looks great. I do it on all of the cars I detail. They look brand new.

Looks good. Definitely an improvement. I just did the same with my wheelwells..expect i used a semi-gloss black. Makes em look like plastic

 

[bigblue05]

i clean them and use tire foam spray along with my running boards and bumper cap

Looks good, but just wondering is your drivers rear tire in the wrong position? Looks like it has a arrow on it facing the wrong way if that is the back drivers side tire. J/W?

It does look reversed in his sig pic also.
