Whats the best way to clean wheel wells? I have used an old wash mitt that I was about to throw out but I'm looking for what you all do.

I'm using CG Grime Reaper, but what else works well? Spraying with water alone isn't good enough.
 
I use Zep Fast 505 for wheel wheels and scrub with a mothers long handle brush.
 
Amazing Roll Off, various scrub brushes, Stoner's More Shine when dry.....looks better than new.
 
Optimum Power Clean or Meguiars APC+. It sometimes takes some good scrubbing with a terry cloth towel to clean some complex shaped plastic lined wells.
 
Dp cleanse all exterior cleaner, and it's on sale right now. Scrub with various brushes, spray down with CG bare bones when dry
 
APC+, various scrub brushes, pressure washer then spray with hyper dressing
 
Might sound odd......a toilet brush and some APC
Most of them have round head bristle making it easier to reach the arch without being a contortionist.
If you're near a home depot, menards or lowes there are plenty to choose from, get the Zep APC from there too.

Is the Bare Bones any good? Is it safe to use in the engine bay as well? The CG website doesn't specify.
 
I have a dedicated soft bristle brush for wheelwells but to clean, even though it's overkill, I drench them in bug & tar cleaner wipe it away with throw away microfibers then repeat with whatever spray cleaner is within reach (wheel cleaner, waterless wash, etc.) and apply trimwork conditioner like mother's back to black.

Like I said, it's all overkill and only lasts until the first stop sign, lol.
