sweet scarr, seen it on ebay for £12, but they got bilberry wheel cleaner. both for £20.

is it worth getting that then?
also are they both safe to use on powder coated wheels?

Make sure you get the sponge applicator with the poorboys, and again its proper good stuff!!

I used one of the megs pads! I just keep it for applying the poorboys with! As for the bilberry, I wouldn't use that every week/time you wash. It is a dedicated wheel cleaner and the point of sealing is that you don't need to clean it as thoroughly. Normal shampoo will wash off the majority of dirt with ease. I'd use bilberry every other wash or dilute it alot!

Nice. Read the bilberry carefully, I think I have heard that it can cause damage if it too strongly diluted!

As above,  and you probably won't need to use anything stronger than shampoo to clean your wheels after applying a few coats of the wheel wax.
