Tight Wheel wells?

[jbizzle22]

How do you get into those tight wheel wells? I haven't tried yet, so it may be easier than it looks, but I just thought I'd ask while I was bored at work....

Try turning the wheel all the way over. Or just take it off.

I use a hard bristle toilet brush....sounds crappy , I know ,

but it does the trick.

What about for really low vehicles like this? LOL

S.O.L , I guess !? :nixweiss:

Hmmmm

Take it out of gear and roll it forward or backward about a foot?

On the front I turn the SOB all the way to left or to right. But, for the rear wheels I take them off.

Jack it up if needed.

when i clean the front wheel wells, i turn the front tires all the way to the left as it makes access to cleaning them a bit easier....

How often??? This really isn't practical for me to do at least once a week! I wish I had a lift.

get a weak power washer and stick it up there for a quick once-over.

BINGO :xyxthumbs



I keep a pair of jacks in the washbay, one on each side, for just this reason; clean 'em at every wash and they'll never get really nasty. Ditto for the undercarriage.



I used to spend more time jacking up/taking down the Mallett than I did on the whole rest of the wash

i use something similar to a toilet brush as well. works great.

If you have those DIY car wash places, you can use their pressure sprayer and do it really quick for 25 cents.



Only problem you will still have is dressing them. You need jacks to lift it up.
