Best way to wash wheel wells??

I spray on APC full strength and let dwell. Then use a long handle brush to agitate the surface then power wash. If you don't have a power washer then regular hose will work but you'll need to scrub a tad more.

I dress the wells once dry with Poorboys Bold and Bright come out perfect every time for me

same deal here. APC at 4:1

long handled brush is a must. they're pretty cheap at harbor freight

But for those fender flares that you're mentioning, I don't scrub them. For routine maintenance I'll spray them with APC and rinse but I don't really go at it. Sometimes I'll use an old MF in the car wash solution towards the end of a wash and wipe those areas down.

you won't need this on the taco, but for wheel wells where its tight I use the daytona wheel brush

nice truck btw

If it's the first good cleaning in a while. I pull the wheel and safely support the vehichle on jack
stands.

APC, Dawn in a wash bucket. Long brush, shortened bristle paint brush, red shop rags for scrubbing remaining dipped in soap. Always have 3M adhesive remover for stubborn tar. Rinse, dry, then treat with 303, Bold & Bright or the like. I have been using Tuned Performance Tire Gel lately.

The less marring you do to the plastic the easier they will clean after.
Now is a good time to do the backside of the wheels also.

Properly retorque the wheel and enjoy. This cleaning should be done before polishing and LSP to prevent splattering and APC from eating your LSP.
 
Wheel Woolies were on a temporary manufacturer backorder for about three weeks, but they were not discontinued. We order a couple cases on a weekly basis. :bigups
 
Yep, 1st cleaning since bought in 2007. Figure it will be a dirty job the first time I clean em up.
Was hoping there was a miracle spray that melted away the gunk! Sounds like a good long handle brush and some EBG will work wonders.
Thanks,
Michael

Thanks Todd. I'll be getting some ordered pretty soon. I didn't mean to give false info on here. The lady I spoke with on the phone about the refund told me they looked to be discontinued, so I just assumed they were. Either way, I'm just glad they are back :yay
