If you find you need a little more cleaning power, Then use some weak bilberry wheel cleaner on them as part of a wash procedure. :stupid:

Waits for auto perfections suggestion...

Another alternative would be our own wheel sealant, which is just as effective. We've updated the formula slightly from the original, so instead of having to apply two coats, you now only need to apply one, which makes it a better value for money product.

Either one of those (or any other dedicated wheel wax or sealant for that matter), would be fine and will get you a nice shiny finish.

All the best
