Yeah, Bare Bones works, just don't treat youir wheel wells in your driveway, or garage, unless you like seeing drips all over your pavement.
It's a product I've found that doesn't last that long, not much better than taking a spray can of no touch foam tire spray.

If you are going to pull your wheels and get the wells squeaky clean, then use Ultima Tire and Trim Guard or Car Pro Dlux. Car Pro Perl also looks good, but will not last.
I don't dress my wheel wells, liners or whatever you call them. To clean I use Optimum Power Clean @ 3/1, then brush with this.

It works great, but you need to have some clearance to use the brush.

Hyperdressing looks good, but after one rain it's gone. Better used as an engine dressing.

I used Bones after my Griots undercarriage ran out . I'm glad I used of the rest of Bones because it doesn't work or look as good as Griots brand.

Use AllClean+ and then spritz CG Bare Bones. It doesn't last long but on my old fender liners it makes a good difference. Most certainly required after each wash, if you prefer.

i use a small bucket with some car wash in it, this brush (have both the small and long handle) some APC (opc or megs), and spray some water-based dressing (1:3) and it dries without having to touch it...
:xyxthumbs: I use megs hyper dressing. 4:1 Spray On Walk Away.

LA's TA works well for all Wells for me. Can dilute if these cleaning strength is needed. Most apc will work jet as well, and isn't as big a deal which one you use since mechanical cleaning(touch) is going to be more effective in most situations. Pulling the wheels for the initial detailed cleaning is best/easiest. I mostly use a green brush with feathered bristles, a round tip detail brush, a stiff bristled brush for flatter more stubborn surfaces, and low grade MFs to do a final wipe and get tight areas. A damp MF alone will be one of the most effective tools in most scenarios. For tar, asphalt, grease, road paint, and sticky/gooey substances I use Tar-X or 3M citrus cleaner(aerosol). Using a wheel sealant on fender wells and components behind the wheel last long than a traditional wheel well protectant, and can allow things to stay cleaner longer, and clean easier. Otherwise, water based tire dressing will do a respectable job.
