Use of the Day: Spray inside wheel wells on automobiles to keep road tar and other debris from sticking.

I've done this before to keep them looking clean and black. Never noticed any side effects. Don't know if there's any potential negatives but I bet someone will have a better answer.
I've used old tire gel I didn't like on the tires for them as well, seems to do the job too.

I cant really think of any negative side effects.
A wheel well dressing that would act in a similar fashion would be Chemical Guys' Bare Bones. Does a fantastic job of darkening the appearance and helps to prevent stuff from sticking and building up.

The biggest downfall to using WD-40 in the wheel wells is that the oil does not dry, and when you drive over any dirt, it sticks to the wheel wells more. I use armor-all, Poorboys Bold and Bright, or anything else I have on hand that is inexpensive and a water based dressing.

How about this: http://www.griotsgarage.com/product/...C+35+ounces.do
I have used their products before and have had good luck with them.
