Best products for wheel wells.

What products do you guys like to use when you are detailing your wheel wells?

My dad used to use the Griot's Garage Undercarriage Spray (http://www.griotsgarage.com/catalog....1002&SKU=11138)

He seemed to like it. I never found the results worth the cost or effort for regular washes. I just rinse everything as well as I can with the hose.

I just use some armorall tire foam (in a can). I clean the wheel wells with soap/water and a brush and then spray the foam in there. looks really good

You know how our 3G TL's have that carpet like material in the wheel wells (at least in the rear wheel wells it does from what I remember last time I looked)? How does the Armor All spray work on this material? It's different from the usual, black plastic you find in most wheel wells... For some reason, I just don't imagine any product adhearing to this material very well?

Tons of loose rocks and gravel gets imbeded in the wells... I know one thing for sure that one of those well brushes would not fit in the top portion of the tire well. but on the sides it'll work.

I don't spray armorall in the rear wells, I just use a flat wheel brush(one to clean the inside of wheels)/soap and water and flush it out with the hose alot and it looks fine
