Here's the deal: Clean the wheel wells with Wurth Citrus Degreaser, the stuff is wonderful (but not cheap).

Speaking of taking the winter wheels off and putting summer wheels on, can I just use the jack and the spare wrench to do this or do you recommend having a shop do it on a lift?

Make sure you rinse thoroughly no matter what type of cleaner you use (especially with something like Simple Green, which can be corrosive on aluminum parts).

I like to use Tire Gel as they are clear dressings that last, but if the plastic is real white and chalky you have to use a color product like Black Again.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hi guys,
Since winter is just about over here in Pennsylvania. I am getting ready to take my snow tires and wheels off and put the summer tires and wheels back on. While I have the wheels off, I was planning on cleaning the plastic in the wheel wells since the plastic got dirty and is no longer black like when the car was new. Any suggestions on what products to use?
Here's the deal: Clean the wheel wells with Wurth Citrus Degreaser, the stuff is wonderful (but not cheap). Use a soft brush with a handle. Then apply Black Again (Black Jack), made by North American Oil. (

) The stuff is thick and oily feeling. Rub it on and wait a few minutes. Then buff it off with a clean cloth. It'll look great.
Cleaning is the most impotant step. A good all purpose cleaner like Simple green, Citrus, or Meguiars Extra or Heavy Duty Vinyl #39 cleaner will do the job. Then you should dress them with a product. As many said you can choose stuff like Black again, 303, Meguiar tire gel ect.. It really depends on the condition of the plastic. I like to use Tire Gel as they are clear dressings that last, but if the plastic is real white and chalky you have to use a color product like Black Again.
The key is to wash them out regularily and dont let them get caked up or built up so you have to do a major cleaning. If you take the wheels off and wash out the brakes and wells and all over the wheels every couple of weeks, it will keep everything in show condition. If you do it regularily, a cleaner like simple green or fantastic will do the whole job.
Depending on how **** you want to be about the cleaning a good degreaser and/or tar remover will more than likely be necessary to get rid of tar and oil globs that will most likely be attached to the liners. Make sure you rinse thoroughly no matter what type of cleaner you use (especially with something like Simple Green, which can be corrosive on aluminum parts).
The other advice above is good with regard to the dressings and their respective advantages and disadvantages.
