Wheel Well Detailing

**sills1** · 08-14-2007, 02:20 PM

This past weekend, I removed my wheels and cleaned them inside and out. Along with that, I took the time to paint my brake rotors. I find it much more appealing to have your entire fenderwell area cleaned and well maintained. It makes for a completely CLEAN looking car. Here are a few pics of Betsy after I finished cleaning her up. I know I need to lower the car a bit more. I'm just waiting until it isn't my daily driver to do so.

i usually clean the inner wheel wells with tire shine and a pad. clean up very nice and you are right, adds a nice touch to the car...

your car looks great. one suggestion i might make would be to remove the side molding...

Unfortunately, my car has had some body work done and removing the side molding would pose a problem with matching paint.

Would've been better if my neighbors P.O.S.'s hadn't been in the picture.

I don't have PS or the skills even if I did have it. Someone on here surely can though

**sills1** · 08-14-2007, 04:40 PM

I have photoshop, but I'm too lazy and unskilled to make it turn out good.

Not bad for MS Paint. I could wipe out the cars very nicely, but like I stated before, I'm too lazy. Good quicky though

yea just looking at it quick I didnt notice cause I was looking at that bad ass car in the front of the picture. Very tastefully done car. I love the wheels/paint combo looks great and I am not a big fan of painted wheels.

hey the caravan will own joo!!!!

Nice work. I never noticed the other car either till you said something

**Zapper2003** · 08-16-2007, 03:56 PM

how did you go about keeping paint off the surface where the pads make contact, or did you just paint it then 'ride the brakes' to get it off? I may have to get some black VHT paint for mine.
