I often wonder why people never expect sarcastic comments from me - they're the only reason I speak...

I rate bilberry over hot rims. As for brushes, I use an alloy wheel brush to do the inner surfaces of the rim and a swissvax-style brush to do the face and corners of the alloy.

I wouldn't bother with Megs Hot Rims - you have to use SO much product, it's not ecomical.  Megs Wheel Brightner however is very good, quite toxic however so proceed with caution.  I've heard good things about Bilberry too but never used it myself.
