Don't forget your wheel wells!

[Kazi]

I've been taking cars to shows for over ten years straight, on and off prior. I've seen a lot of really nice cars there, but it seems a lot of people drop the ball when it comes to their wheel wells. Dirty wells are weak!
Most are vinyl and are very easy to keep clean, after you've got them done in the first place. If they come up nice, just some vinyl protectant keeps them nice. A quick wipe down after you've done your tires and you're golden.
For those that are beat looking or are undercoated, a shot of black paint will really set them back to a respectable look. Don't forget the exposed springs and shocks too.

Although it is really hard to keep your wells clean if your stanger is lowered(I know its a PITA for me.) its a real chose to reach in there.
I like to clean the wells with a general purpose degrease cut 3:1 and use a nice long stiff bristled brush.

Clean wheel wells definitely make a difference, especially when you're selling a car... FULL detail for RETAIL hahah.

Adams undercarriage spray will take care of most wheel well problems.

your dad must not have put 30 k a year on his ride...lol, we try, but the linex we have in our wheel wells is almost impossible to keep clean, even with a pressure washer, since my car is a daily driver, i pick up lord knows what from the roads in the city, and it sticks horribly in the crevices..
