How do you remove snow and ice from wheel wells on a car that is always in extreme below zero temperature?

Answer 1

Not sure where your at but I'm in Northern BC Canada so we get a heck of a lot of snow. I find the best thing to do is just get a small hammer and tap the inside of your wheel-well hard enough to knock the ice loose but not hard enough to cause damage.

Try GENTLY hitting the fender just above the wheel. Hit it too hard, you'll have a dent. Keep tapping it, and the ice will break off.

When you have the snow and ice cleaned out, give the wheel wells a good spray of WD40. You will still get buildup, but it will 'release' much easier when you bump the fender above the wheel.

i am not sure where you are but i am in northern Michigan usa and we get a load of snow and ice so i see my fair share of build up in the wheel wells if you his the body of the car wont do all that much try finding a open car wash if that isn't a option try to find some one who has a heated garage you can put your car in long enuff to thaw if neither of those are a option take a pole about 3 feet in leingt and just use it as a ice scraper when i have to do it that way i use a base ball bad but don't hit the ice you could trash to body of your vehicle

Take it to a heated building and park it inside for 24 hours or so. It should be free of ice when you go back. Not always easy to find, though.. a storage place, a barn with a space heater, an automotive shop?

A small military-style shovel works fine for me.

To remove snow and ice from wheel wells in extreme below zero temperatures, you can use a handheld snow brush or scraper to carefully clear the buildup. It's important to do this gently to avoid damaging the car's body or wheel well liners. Additionally, using a de-icing spray or a mixture of water and rubbing alcohol can help melt stubborn ice.
