(CG Bare Bones, Adam's Invisible Undercarriage) What separates these products from other dressings that are not specifically advertised for the undercarriage/wheel wells?
 
I find that stoners tire shine drys to a nice clear finish that does not need to be touched. Very nice product for using on the under body and its cheap. Can also be found locally. :)
 
CG silk shine works awesome on wheel wells. i sprayed it on my wifes truck and thought it would be ruined in a day since she drives on a dirt road to our ranch daily. but after 3 weeks only light dust, washed off easy with water
 
I tried FK1 108 on my wells at the suggestion of a member of this site. Looks really good and dries without streaks. The main advantage to something like Barebones is for pros who go through a lot of product it can be purchased inexpensively by the gallon.
 
CD2 works really well but I don't think it's as cost effective. I only seemed to get 5-6 uses per can using them on wheel wells. I figure I can get 30-40 applications out of my $17 bottle of FK1 108 (plus it works great for the trim and dash too.) I save CD2 for the engine bay.
 
I don't see what is so hard about wiping down a water based dressing, unless you have very little clearance to deal with. I use Meg's Hyper Dressing at 3:1 and am very pleased with the results.
 
i use a water based dressing diluted 2:1 and spray it on and it dries without really having to even touch it...

1 gallon of FK1 1o8 @ $36 would be more cost effective
 
Have to chime in regarding one of my favorite products: Griot's Garage Undercarriage Spray. Always makes my wheel wells and suspension parts look great. A bit thin, so I have to wipe off any excess.

Big fan of the Griot's as well. Bought some CG Bare Bones, but haven't had a chance to try it out. Wheel well dressing is one of the things that I learned from this site and it really makes a big difference.
 
Huh, I'm kinda surprised that so may people like the Griot's Undercarriage Spray, thought I was all by my lonesome on that one.
 
Thanks for the tips guys. Not having to actually wipe the dressing after spraying is a good way to save time. Things like that allow me to bump up my hourly rate more and more.
 
I am in LOVE with the Adams Undercarriage spray from a looks dept. It sprays well or maybe it's the new spray head I'm using.....get very even coverage and it dries to a nice finish with a ever slight sheen on it. After 2 days however, I can still smell grape when I walk by which I DON'T like.



As opposed to what I was using previously for the wheel wells (hyperdressing 3:1), - in which I admit I did not try cutting it more, but sofar, I like the less sheen of the Adams + application seems more even (again, different sprayer head which may be skewing results). It dries fairly quick=quicker than the Meguiars product. Have not run it through a puddle or 2 yet though .
