Help keeping wheel wells black

[chrisalvarez]

I saw someone mention that apc is the stuff to use for wheel wells & require no dressing. That would b a dream especially for my escalade bcuz it is a ***** to get in there & dress &I maintain also on my Infiniti its a smaller space to try &I get in & dress so I usually just don't do the rear wells so here's my question is this true, what is APC & HOW CAN I GET IT

apc won't make it any blacker it will just clean it. Use a dressing. I use Hyper 2:1 dilution and my customers love it

^^^ cleaning it will keep it kleen.
Plastic is made of oil, kleaners will extract that oil, thus makinginit dryer and grayer.
So a dressing will relace those oils, so once in a while, as it lightens up, use a dressing to blacken it.
Also you can paint it with an undercoating spray that will stay balck longer then plastic.

Re: Help keeping wheel wells black

^^^ I wouldn't even use a strong cleaner every time.
APC is a very strong cleaner and can "bleach" things.
Simple Green is a very gentle cleaner and a mild solution of APC will alway out perform SG.
I just power wash and clean ww with car soap, brush, power washer and APC if needed, rarely. I really haven't had any dirty ww I couldn't clean.\

Simple Green turned my wheels wells white on my old car... APC + All Season Dressing brought them back to black. I will not use it again.

I use APC every time on my new car, and there is no hint of white, just a regular gray. I am staying with APC.
