What to use to refinish wheel wells?

When I was a rather poor young lad, living 'down south'...
I used to wrap a piece of burlap bag on a fish hook and
spray it down with WD-40 and use it for catfishing.

It works...I've seen it and done it myself!!

Now Bob you're killin' me here! :laughing:

I've used corn (from a can), and doughballs, but burlap and WD-40 is a new one for sure! :dblthumb2:
 
Sorry to hijack...
I use barebones and have always had good results. Just curious for cleaning and agitation what's the norm? My process to follow:
Pressure wash 60* nozzle to remove any large stuck on particles. Good off for tar adhered to *plastic* liners agitate with 20" "soft"/flared brush again on plastic liners rinse with pressure and dress.
*metal* painted fender liners high pressure rinse down remove particles bare bones or for stubborn tar use trix. Agitate with 28/20" bores hair brush high pressure rinse.

Sound up to par with y'all's process? Faster way? Better way? Am I doing it the wrong way ;) haha
Thanks everyone

Bare bones, trix, and cg apc citrus are all items I use dep on what needs to be cleaned/removed.

-My Grandpa’s the one that taught me that, even though catfish would eat about anything going,
fish were kinda sensitive to: 'little boy smells' that came from:
Wallering about in the dirt, pickin’ boogers, not being: "the best of aim" down at the outhouse, etc…
-And that WD-40 helped cover-up 'those aromas' when sprayed on 'burlap-lures', as it were.

Now…I knew, back then, of WD-40’s abilities on freeing-up rusted bolts&nuts on farm equipment
and Grandpa’s old jalopy…But it wasn’t until I’d moved to the big city and attended College that I
found out more about WD-40…Even how it helped me as a kid in regards to catfishing.

-Suffice it to say that I learned WD-40 has an abundance of alkanes (Hydrocarbons with the formulas: CxH2x+2n).
I discovered that this alkane-information was useful in at least two "fishing-ways" (I & II);
and, at least one "Collegiate-way" (III)...As follows:

I.)
Ever tie a cricket, grasshopper, stinkbug, or other creepy-crawler on a fish hook?

Well…Many alkanes are naturally produced by living creatures. One of those naturally occurring alkanes found
in WD-40 is: Undecane...part of the pheromone trail left by cockroaches.

-No wonder WD-40 drove the catfish into a froth!!

II.)
-Another alkane in WD-40 is: Nonane.
-Nonane-molecules’ hydrogen atoms "don’t hold a charge" (can’t connect/bond to H20, essentially meaning water-repellant).
-That’s how the WD-40’ed piece-of-burlap stayed ‘dry-enough’ to hide the fishhook from the Big Cats.
-And…Afterall…WD-40 stands for water displacement, 40th attempt.

III.)
Since WD-40 is packed full of "mineral oil"…It wasn’t too big of a stretch for us seeking: "Higher-education"…
To fashion a few home-made lava-lamps for those late night: Study-Sessions

Pic of well cleaned with APC+ and dressed with Megs ASD. Tires dressed with ASD too.
 

If your talking about just "dressing" your wheel well then I vote for CG BareBones, Sonus, Trim & motor Kote.


If you truly want to re-finish them then look into Wurth High Build UnderBody UnderSeal.

Another option that I used was roll on bed liner.

Ya' know, the problem I think many have today....
Is the *lack* of boys hanging with their Grandpa's. :dunno:

One of mine passed when I was only 13 (1960), the other lived till he was 99 (2003). Luckily enough, my Dad was born in 1913 and was able to live the stories that we all need to learn from. I miss them all, some days more than others. ;)
 
WD-40 works well, Wheel wells are also the only place I am willing to use Armor All. Both are cheap and easy to get.
