What do you guys like to use to get the fender wells looking good and black. I'm talking about a driver, not for show.
ThanksFeed back please
 
use a raceglaze wheel brush to get in between well and low profile tires. any good apc seems to work. finish with griots undercarriage spray. looks good for about a week only though. but respray is 2 minutes work
 
I like to use CD2 Engine Detailer. It can be purchased at Autozones if you have any around you. Or any inexpensive tire dressing should work also.

I've used CD2, dedicated undercarriage sprays as well as trim sprays. Since the wheel wells are going to get grimey before anything else I figured cheaper is better. I gave Armor All Tire Foam a try since it was on sale at Big Lots at giveaway prices. Works great and you don't have to wipe unless you want to. Works great on underhood pads as well due to having some cleansing properties. IMO, it's absolute junk as far as use on tires though.

Clean them real good and get Black Spray paint last longer than any dressings and just as easy to use. I have been doing it for years. Anything chemical wise will just have dirt and dust stick to it, paint dries and black is black.
 
A cheap glossy aerosol Tire Protectant often works well. Remember to clean well first and consider repainting annually as needed.
 
I wash mine with a Walmart microfiber mitt dedicated just for wheels, tires and wheel wells and regular Meg's Gold Class soap. For the tougher grime I hit it with some Simple Green APC. Dress with Optimum Opti-Bond diluted 1:1 in a spray bottle and I'm good to go.
 
I use a dedicated long handled brush from Mothers Mothers Tire, Wheel & Well Brush Kit

OTC tire and wheel cleaner for the wheel well (I try to cut costs here, sale items)

Meguiars Hot Shine Tire Foam for the wheel well Meguiars Hot Shine Tire Foam is a foaming tire dressing that penetrates rubber tires to leave a glossy, black shine.

I also purchased some cheap OTC microfibers I can discard after several uses and not be upset about.

I got the Sprayway foam on BOGO. It works. well. I also have Griots UC that I have in a garden sprayer. Got some Megs ASD too. I prefer the ASD to all others as it looks great with a nice gloss and is the most durable of all Ive tried!
