Default Wheel wells? Cleaning?

What do you guys do for your wheel wells?

I have a shammy just for my wheel wells, I reach in and scrub to keep'em clean and usually when they are dry I give them a light misting of tire shine. Really cleans everything up.

I see a lot of people ignore the wheel wells thinking nobody pays attention......or am I the only freak who goes "AHHHH, dirty wheel wells!!!"

I try and spray the well out with the strongest setting on my nozzel before I wash it. Then I use an Oxo wheel brush dipped in soapy water to run around under my wheel wells. It is a bit of a challenge as low as mine sits, but I give it my best effort everytime I wash my car. I am a little weary of reaching under there with a cloth. I have gotten a few nasty cuts on other cars before. The brush works great.

Get's slippery the first time you drive your car after cleaning right?

If mine are really nasty I spray a little Purple Power under there first. It really cuts the crud.

You must go through tire foam quickly?

Not really it lasts a while and it doesnt take much to make it look mint
