How are you doing it? If you use something to greasy then all the dust sticks to it. Not enough doesn't show pitch black?

Wheel Wells

Those plastic parts see the harshest conditions and are subjected to all the elements. The liner is usually made from SMC (an unsaturated polyester resin) periodically remove the wheels (one at a time utilizing a car jack and / or axle stands) to enable cleaning the back of the wheel, callipers and give better access to the wheel wells. Ensure that the vehicle body is secure by placing on axle stands.

1. Rinse wheel well thoroughly with water.
2. Use a 1:1 solution of P21 Total Auto Wash a d-limonene (citrus) based cleaner and water in a spray bottle, spray the wheel wells and let the solution dwell for 3-5 min
3. Agitate and brush the road dirt / grime the wheel well and suspension parts, brake callipers, etc
4. Spray the area thoroughly with a high pressure water spray
5. Remove any road asphalt with a safe solvent (Stoners Tarminator)
6. Repeat if necessary
7. Use P21S Polishing Soap on all metal parts (taking care to avoid the brakes)
8. Rinse using a high pressure hose / nozzle to remove soap residue
9. I recommended wearing rubber gloves, once finished, rinse the wheel wells and dry them with an old terry towel.
10. Once they have thoroughly dried, spray with 1z einszett Tiefenpfleger -Vinyl-Rubber Care and Protectant, Adam’s Undercarriage Detailer or Chemical Guys Bare Bones (avoid spraying the brake rotor)

These products leave a matte finish, (not solvent-based silicone dressings) without grease that attracts dirt / dust. Provides protection for the plastic ducts

I more than appreciate these articles are very technical in content and therefore will not appeal to every detailers level of knowledge or experience. But chances are you'll learn something about detailing if you read any of these.

I have tons of that crap, gonna try it!

Wash them frequently.

I wash mine everytime I wash the car and then use spray tire cleaner dressing after they dry.

I tried the Pledge thing and looks like it has done a great job!

Lemon or orange scent?

Good tip :thumbsup3:

I've wondered about this myself. Mine are clean, but they've gotten faded areas that are more gray, especially the front wells. At shows I use tire glow on them and that turns them pretty black, but is there something more permanent? Does the Pledge turn them black again? The part of the well attached to the hood is ok, just the areas down by the tire and suspension are what's faded.

I just use my power washer.

Just some soap is what I use then a little tire spray and wipe it in.

Regular wash and Armor All.......works pretty well for me.

I am going to try the Pledge.

Use something like forever black to restore the original look.
