Wheel Wells, Rims and Tires Rims, wheel wells and tires make a bold statement for the appearance of the vehicle, do you know how to properly detail these key components? Would you like to learn?

My favorites are and in this order:

1. Chemical Guys Bare Bones
2. Majestic Solutions Quick Details
3. Stoners Trim Shine

All three leave the wheel wells very shiny and black and have very good durability. I haven't seen any of them attract dust. I like Bare Bones the best because it's not an aeresol and is easier to use and get even coverage plus its cheaper than the other two. MS QDs and Stoners are about neck and neck with MS QDs getting the nod because it smells like bubble gum.

Chemical Guys Extreme VRP does a fine job on wheel wells; leaves a shiny finish.

oooh very interesting thread, as I have been wondering the same.

I've tried Stoners Trim Shine, works good no complaints on it. I've also tried using Optimum Tire Shine and Optimum Protection Plus on the wheel wells and they both actually perform quite well...but still looking for a product dedicated to the wheel wells.

Look forward to more info

I've been using Stoner Trim shine on fenderwells and I get it by the 5 gallon jug. I detail for a living so I don't want to spend a bunch of money on a dedicated fenderwell dressing. The Trim Shine leaves a nice clean matte finish.

AA Tire Foam as much for its cleaning ability.
