I sprayed them off to get rid of all the dirt, then i brushed them clean followed by brushing with soapy water. Then i dried them up and detailed them with some WD40 :D What do you guys think?

Looks pretty good, any idea how long the look will last using WD40? Last time I did mine I just sprayed some of my tired shine on the wheel wells. It looked good, lasted quite a while, and didnt seem to attract dirt either.

I don't know how long they'll last. WD40's like oil, so it should keep water from drying on the wells. I was walking around the house and say the can and it just hit me. I also did the tires but they didn't turn out the way i expected, but they did get darker/cleaner :yes:

you're dad must love the fact you're into the TB. Seems like you're putting a lot of time into it. Did you ever get your license yet?

Update!!
After about 2 months and numerous thunderstorms, all I had to do when washing the truck was spray water on the dirt and it would go back to the way it was in the pics above!! SHHUUUUHWEEET!!

I have rims and i try to keep my wheel well clean but it never happends . Becasue you can have clean rims and tires but if the wheel well is dirty it messes up the whole look
