Winter ?

It seems snow really likes to stick to the wheel wells.
I remember seeing a thread about spraying something to alleviate this....but I cannot seem to find it thru search. Lookin' for a link or tip!

Try some simple WD-40 or aerosol silicon. Works for mud so it should work, maybe not as well, for snow too.

Here's a recent one and I believe there was a similar topic that may have been in the detailing section a while ago. One of the recommendations was Scotch Guard sprayed on the wheel wells on that thread too, I believe... I personally haven't tried it but good luck!
