Auto Finesse Mint Rims seemed to work well on mine when it was detailed by Greeners.  :happy2:

I'm currently using cQuartz on mine as they've just been refurb'd. You could also get some good long lasting results from Colli 845.

Poorboys for me as well. There was a similar thread about this a couple of weeks back.

As Rich has said Mint Rims is very good.

But to be honest if you clean the wheels frequently then any wax will do the job. On my own car I tend to wax the wheels every 2nd-3rd wash and this way they stay brake dust free and are easy to clean.

How do you rate it compared to Planet Polish WS&S? I never found the bottle after you sold me yours and am contemplating buying a replacement.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

To be honest I don't think I ever got round to using it Jaz.

We've now started using sealant on a few of the cars we see regularly so we'll keep an eye on how that lasts.

Poorboys for me, seems to last for ages. Collie or a good sealant would surely work just aswell.

I used collie when i last ran out and didnt really notice much difference apart from the smell.

As above, and above and above etc etc etc, Poorboys Wheel Sealant. Just bought a tub from eBay for £12.95 (free micro fibre too). No doubt it can be bought cheaper elsewhere.
