I'm not OCD or clean freak by any means but this AZ Dirt we have sticks really well to the wheel-wells. Even when it's dry, it sticks as dust that doesn't wash off. I actually kinda like it because it sets my truck off from the Mall Crawler Crowd - authentic dirt and all.
But on my security system cameras at night when they flip into IR mode the truck looks dark and menacing - but the wheel-wells look absolutely hot white. I'm probably the only guy that has cleaned his wheel-wells because of how they looked on Infra-Red Vision. Yes, I'm special. I get that.
Now that we all know I'm damaged goods...
How do you keep your wheel-wells clean?
It seems there are three materials
1. Plastic - Easy
2. Metal - Not too hard.
3. Some fibrous stuff that NASA rejected - Hard AF to clean!
I got a toilet brush for 50 cents at Wally-World and it didn't do as well as just getting after it with a soapy rag and then I applied some tire shine stuff that has silicone in it thinking that the dirt won't stick as bad to silicone. Am I on the right path? How did you clean yours? How do I get that fibrous stuff up front clean and why the hell did Ford use THAT STUFF on the truck and not just plain plastic like the back?
