Cleaning Wheelwell Gunk?

Anyone have a good cleaner for wheelwell gunk? I want to get all the gunk and black stuf dirt etc out of there and repaint via spray can to the original color of the bed. I've used the purple degreaser and that works fairly well....anything work better? Keep in mind I dont want it to harm the paint.

Thanks

Tire cleaners or wheel cleaners work good. I always use Eagle One Etching Mag Cleaner.

Go into your local walmart or dollar store and pick up any all purpose cleaner with citrus... an example would be fantastic. Any of those will work wanderful, if not lots of auto stores sell all purpose cleaners that will work

I pressure wash first then spray on power purple degreaser (from dollar store) and scrub with tire brush then pressure wash and spray with tire foam...looks great for atleast a week

Re: Cleaning Wheelwell Gunk?

why do you want to spray it the original color of the bed? why not black?
