Faded rear wheel wells

Raikkonen · 04-07-2008, 03:51 PM

I've noticed that after cleaning my rear wheel wells, that woolly sound deadening material is looking "faded". Is there anything I can spray onto that material that will give a deeper black appearance that will last for awhile??? My car only has about 5k miles, but it was a brutal winter, so the fading doesn't really surprise me.

Also, anything for the plastic front wells that won't look too "shiny" black, like I just used Armor All ???

CG Fade to Black

or

CG Bare Bones

I find that even though the rear fender wells seem to be some type of fabric, both of the products I listed above help bring some shine and blackness back.

I find tire shine (silcone based) products work. Tire shine in a can is the easiest to apply.

Meg's hyper dressing works well for me for the wells and fender linings.
