I was using armor all tire dressing on my wheel wells before but find it to attract too much dust. I just tried megs #40 and i really like the look but it's kind of pricey to use for the wheel wells. What would you guys suggest for a good alternative to use on my wheel wells? what do you guys use?
 
Hey, that's a good use for the almost full bottle of BlackMagic dressing I have in the garage. I used it on the tires and really disliked it. But the fender liners, yes.
 
Most anything for tires at Pep Boys, KMart, WalMart, etc... that have the clear liquid like the Black Magic, Armor All, Turtle Wax, and Eagle One
 
I sprayed the inside of my wheel wells with a black ruberized under coating (they were mostly just metal and flat / messed up paint before.



Then I just spray hyper dressing on them (about 2:1) and it works out really well. I calculated it a long time ago, but HD is probably one of the cheaper alternatives too.

I use to sell for a chemical distributor and one of my accounts was a Car Brite Distributor. We made a cheap silicone based tire dressing for him and I asked a couple of our suppliers for samples of DMF 350 and DMF 1000 so I could make my own tire dressing. I use it for my wheel wells and the cost is great. I have enough to last a life time.:D
 
for the wheel wells, i use the nxt tech protectant (not a big fan), and only because i don't want to throw it away/waste it.
 
I'm using a bottle of Armor All Original protectant and I don't want to waste it so I find it's good for using it for the wheel walls.
 
I picked up a couple of cans of tire foam at Costco and use them for the wheel wells and the engine compartment. It takes me seconds to do the WW's this way.
 
I use the tire foam too .. with the drop I have I can hardly get anything in there to dress the ww so I just spray it ..
 
No Touch tire foam from Costco--three cans for very little money. The stuff actually lasts through rainstorms, surprisingly.
 
Omikron RD Black I brush on once and following that, each time I detail my car, Wolfgang black diamond tire gel goes on top

RD Black is crap on tires but awesome on metals



Nothing but BD tire gel on my tires now
 
I tried NXT protectant since I did not like its look on anything I tried it on. Seems to last for weeks even in the rain. It has rained twice since I applied it and my wells still look great! If a cheap tire foam will do that then that is what I will start using.
 
If you can still find Meguiars Engine Kote. Otherwise Mop & Glo, if it will look good on your particular wheel wells . I'll probably be trying a similar Zep product for floors that is sold by the gallon in Home Depot. I'm fond of these products because I've experienced less dust attraction and better durabilty to the slightest exposure to water. Dressings just seem to wash away way too fast after a car is exposed to even mild bad weather.

Stoner's Trim Shine

Thats what I use. It drys right away no drips. The tire foams all stay wet for far too long and get messy. With Trim Shine I spray and walk away. With foams I have to buff or they drip and attract too much dust.
