Meguiers Gold class clear coat wax, easy to apply, easy to remove and the finish is awesome :cool:

I use Autoglym super resin polish and then finish with the extra gloss protection on my solid black Manta, it gives a great shine.

If its had a good polish recently i find just turtle wax wash and wax leaves a nice sheen that lasts qutie long. Or maybe im just lazy :smiley:

im lucky cus im a valeter/smart reapaire engineer. so my car always gets cleaned we use a acid based wheel cleaner really gets ur wheels clean but i wouldnt use it all the time.iv seen it stake the lacuer off. but when i give my car a good clean i give the wheel a coat of wax and it stops the brake dust sticking to it and you can just rinse them off then.

I use 'Wonder Wheels' for cleaning alloys, I have always found that it works well, but as said above - don't use it all the time, only if you have to.
