Title: Wheel Arch Dressing
Post by: Moschops on April 15, 2009, 09:36:29 pm

Okay, what's the best stuff to spray on the wheel arches once they have been cleaned to give them a nice shiney look?

TIA... :happy2:

Another thumbs up for 303 from me too, pricey but well worth it imo, works a treat on the front grills too  :happy2:

Valet Pro Protectant is a great product for the wheel arches - it can also be used on the interior dash, rubber seals, tyres and all plastics, so is a versatile, good value for money product  :happy2:
