How do you remove snow and ice from wheel wells on a car that is always in extreme below zero temperature
Answers:
Answer
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.Answer
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 vehicleAnswer

Snow is ice. Little ice crystals. If it melts and refreezes it can become solid ice. Or if it forms big masses of snow then the pressure will fuse the snow crystals into solid ice.
