I use Meguiars Wheel Brightener, watered down 10:1 in a sprayer bottle. Its under £20 for almost 4 litres and makes around 40 litres of decent wheel cleaner, a darn site cheaper than "Hot Rims" and just as good. A cheapy wheel brush from here is perfec for GTI 17" or 18" wheels, give it a slight bend and it will reach the back of your wheels, leaving them looking like new.

Its cheap, does the job and lasts. I now have 3 of these, still look like new after a year.

Same as the other guys really Robin, but I like to add a coat of finishing wax once every two weeks (collinite FTW!) and tend to seal only once every 2 - 3 months

I wash, then towel dry the alloys on my S-line A4 then use AG wheel sealer which puts a shine on them like nothing else.
Would defo recomend it.
