Hey Guys,

just wondering if anyone knows of a product I can buy that will give a nice clean looking shine to my wheel wells. I used to use a silicon based product that worked amazing and that I could use on my tires aswell, but unfortunately I don't have access to it anymore. I love how my car looks after a nice cleaning with wet looking tires and a clean wheel well.

Let me know!

after you clean them they are going to get dirty all over again as you drive. basically you will have to wash them everyday for them to stay clean due to all the rocks and dirt that are kicked up by the tires and stick to the inner walls. But..when i clean mine i go to the car wash and pressure wash all the crap out lol. If you do find a product let me know i want to try it out too:)

Armor All tire foam!, lol no joke...Clean your wheel-wells really good one time using a brush sponge/soap/water, rinse well then spray it good with AA.After the first time doing this, usually just a quick spray will suffice to keep them clean and semi-shiney afterward. :)

Avoid puddles. Nothing is going to stop dirt from sticking.

Silicone will just stick.

Water based won't last.


Only a product that defies science will do what you're looking for. ;)

Chemical Guys Undercarriage Spray may be what you are looking for. Eshine sells it but I would assume it would look good for a short while until you started driving in dusty or wet conditions.

hi :) I speak seriously, wash well and place them drink Pepsi, using a sponge, and wait for the impressive results
Or use the machine gun STP foam

I just use regular ArmourAll on them after I clean them up. Seems to last a while till the next time I wash the car.
