Thanks gents, I'm very happy with my purchase .

Thanks for the thought Mo, I need a Y and an E for the Chrysler!

 

Hi Pete i've just done the de-crudding of my rear arches too, once i'd dug them out I gave them a scrub around with a piece of that green plastic pan scourer stuff, then I soaked a piece of rag with some thick gloopy 90w gear oil which i happened to have lying around in the garage and applied a good layer into the inner ledge, i did two applications giving each one about 15 minutes to soak in, then finished off with a handful of grease (wearing those condom gloves) and gave that a good smear around leaving about half an inch of it around the inner ledge.

Its a good idea to stick a couple of carrier bags or rags over the tops of the rear tyres while you do it, but I escaped with just a few random drips.

Ongoing i'll scoop the grease out out and re-apply some fresh stuff every year and hopefully that should look after those area's.

 

Thanks for the gen pct.

I've cleaned them out but haven't treated them as yet, I was thinking of giving the area another scrub and then brushing on Waxoyl which is obviously a more expensive route than you've taken. I had a MK3 Toyota Supra many years ago which bubbled all around the rear arches and I think is a similar design in that area to the Xfire, so this is a priority job for me over the weekend if the weather permits .

Cheers,

Pete.
