As title says, please post your suggestions
Will be needing some for when my new wheels come so I can keep them clean and shiny for longer.

This subjest is all over the DC5 forums where white wheels cause nightmares to keep clean. There really is now product better than another although the general concensus is polishing with a decent polish will repel brake dust and dirt that little bit longer.
LeeWestwood & Troy for mod, we'd sort this site out

When I went to Motorsport wheels in Leeds the chap basically told me that you wouldn't use wheel cleaners on your paintwork so why use it on your painted wheels. He said wash them as you would wash bodywork and clean and polish them in the same way.
