I hate when my wheel wells are dirty

That's a peeve I have always had. When I'm at the quarter wash scrubbing in there I get look from people thinking I must be a perfectionists.
I just wonder how it does not bug them, especially on cars as high as the N^3BS.

Mine SHOW a lot. I use the tire brush and clean then they wipe down with tire shine. And wipe off. They tend to stay looking good for 2 weeks till time for next total wash.

The inner rim also needs to be cleaned. I hate seeing the outside of wheels clean then black sludge on the Inner wheel.


Yates kiss her good by and start the next one. Meow!

I HATE dirty wheel wells as well. I also own Wheel Woolies to clean the inner barrels.

Yeah I wash my inner rim also. I cannot stand to see into wheels that just look neglected. Especially if they are sometime like Forgiato or Vellano.
I use to use tire shine on my wheel liners, but stopped because it would attract crazy dust. Now I just use dish soap and water. If they are never allowed to get too dirty before a wash, they will stay black with just that.

Always gotta wash the inner rims if you have large wheels. I have a specific mitt and brushes from Adams for just my wheels and also to clean the calipers. I use All Purpose Cleaner from Adams with wheel well brush to clean the wheel wells, then use undercarriage spray to keep the liners look a matte black finish.

Nothing to update, truck is on uship awaiting a decent price to transport. Talking to the dealerships about whether to get a 14 or 15 Ram and trying to decide on wheels so I can get a rendering done. Pretty boring right now :(
