    Ok, what is a good undercarriage spray, mostly for fenderwells. I mentioned to Dylan at adams I did not want something that was overlty oily, he recomended VRT, he mentioned I may not like Adams undercarrige spray because If ive used Prima Nero I may think its just as oily, but as long as it not overly glossy I guess is my concern, I still may try the undercarriage spray. what are the other options you guys are using?

    Also this is mainly for fenderwells like I mentioned on SUVs... I don't want to to look greasy or like a "used car from a Potlot"

    imput welcome as always.....
    What have you used, what did you like about it, or did not like about it. was it easy to wipe off? Did you wipe it off.


    What I have used is Prima nero, Megs hyper dressing which is not bad but does not last; I want to see what else is out there.

    what did you like about bare bones? its on my list. Never used Groits products.......

    Megs HD, i like you can play with the ratios. Again just wish it would last longer.

    M3ride. Wax on..Wax off

    303 aerospace does the job for me. I used it about 4 months ago and it's still keeping the undercarriage looking like new.

    I use Bare Bones in a smaller container with a mist sprayer, Bare Bones is water like and sprays/mists ultra fine which is great for getting into all the nooks and crannies, you don't need to use a sponge/brush or anything, just spray and walk away.

    Pro's
    - Goes on nice
    - Don't need to use much at all, fine mist on most areas and the rest will fill in as it is so fine
    - Smells great, grape scent
    - Dries nicely, semi-gloss
    - Doesn't attrack dust
    - Not greasy when dry
    - Stays on even after washing and driving in the rain. I apply about every two to three washes.

    Cons
    - Do not spray on wells without putting newspaper or something under the area, may stain floor or driveway (kinda of a normal caution really)
    - Makes you look at others wheel wells and laugh cause they look like crap!

    I haven't had a chance to try the Griot's Yet so can't comment, but their products are solid.

    -the doesnt attract dust is a huge plus... where I live it is very dusty, farming etc.

    What?!? I dont get more than a week with 303 on wells. So far the only thing I've been using in the fender wells is Megs HD, Megs ASD, Megs SS, Stoners trim shine and Stoners MSLT. The only ones that last are Megs SS and Megs ASD but they are a bit greasy looking at first but the shine fades away.

    I like megs hyper dressing over bare
    Bones. With hd I can tailor the shine like on my vette it looks clean or on my white truck I can make it look nice and dark and slightly shiny and it's more economical

    Megs HD lasts awhile for me, besides when it rains though.

    Probably 2 weeks worth, but i reapply often.

    I've got the Griots spray right now, but picked up a gallon of Adam's during a DD sale last year. If you spray through a Kwazar bottle, you can do fender liners in two sprays- the spray bottles make this a very economical product to use. As stated already, once you start using any of these, there is no going back... you spray or it's not a done job.

    Griots and Adam's dry with a mostly matte finish, but if it's too glossy for you, buff off with a MF.

    Buy a gallon, don't waste money or time.

    Update:

    You know all those cans of tire spray that you bought that are just sitting on your shelf and you're wondering "what the **** am I going to do with these?" Here's your answer. Use them on your fenderwells. Cheap tire spray is a great thing for those b/c they are what tends to get dirty the quickest so it seems a waste to apply an expensive product there. Just my $.02.

Besides, at the end of this either a gallon of barebones or two bottles of Adams will be for sale once i determine what I like best. lol. maybe both if i stick with Megs HD
