How do you clean car wheel arches, or wheel wells?
What should I use to clean my car's wheel arches? Mine are so dirty, but I have no idea where to start.

“To clean your car’s wheel arches (aka wheel wells), start by spraying off larger chunks of dirt with a hose or pressure washer.
After that, follow these steps to clean dirty wheel wells thoroughly:
- Apply a decent amount of all-purpose cleaner, body solvent, or degreaser.
- Wait several minutes, then agitate the area with a soft-bristled brush.
- Use a rag to wipe down the arches. (Avoid using the rag elsewhere. It’s going to be filthy.)
- Hose off the excess soap and dirt, and you’re done!
