good man yerself... watch for splatter from the 'pokey' brush... does allow you to get very deep behind the wheel though... you can also bend the tip over to clean behind the rear rim inside the wheel... if you are that anal

got one of those EZ brushes and i've not been overly impressed    its good for keeping the inside of the wheel clean but useless for cleaning the spokes

I have got alloys that have a mirror polished lip, I usually wash the alloys with car shampoo, then dry the alloys. If they are really grimy I use Autosol metal polish to get the brake dust off, then I use Autoglym alloy wheel protector (its a white spray can). I recommend the Autoglym alloys protector as it puts a nice polish on the lip and when the brake dust builds up again, I can easily wipe them clean with a tissue/rag.

I used to use that AG stuff - is that the 'Alloy wheel seal'. Basically a spray on wax. Didn't rate it at all.

I now use Pete's 50/50 concours wax on my wheels (and on the bodywork). Great product. Lots of protection and lasts for ages. Takes slightly longer to apply but worth it - the dirt almost falls off the rims when you wash them.
