Hi David,

Bilt Hamber for cleaning the wheels and Poorboys wheel sealant to keep the brake dust to a minimum  SDV8 AB MY 2019

5.0 S/C AB MY 2010 - Gone

Sonax Extreme Wheel Cleaner and Xtreme Wheel Rim Coating topped up with a quick spray of Sonax BSD every wash.

It's good stuff and quite reasonable from ECP when they have a sale - which is always  Current: FF Westminster money pit

after you clean the wheels aplay some of this or similar
and it is going to be much easier to clean them later.

I'd caution against using that cheap ceramic product, but if you do, you really need to proper prep before applying, rather than just a clean over. Bilt Hamber shampoo for me, incredibly good value. For the tyres I use Maguiars Endurance Tyre gel

as with any nano coating preparing the surface is mandatory = clay bar and distilled water alcohol mix. as for nano coating it is not cheap the others are expensive. i have had this on my wheels for almost a year and coating is holding well. I apply this to my brake calipers which i polish before.

Wheels are being refurbed next week! Just want to keep them pristine  2014 vogue se

All the money that goes into the development of these complicated products, and £4 isn't cheap? I've tested those products, and they are definitely inferior, but they're an excellent price, and they're probably good enough for wheels, but I wouldn't let them anywhere near my paintwork.

While your wheels are off I would go for any ceramic sealant such as Gtechniq C5 or similar. Can't comment on the £4 suggestion but I have used C5 and like all the new ceramic coatings it is excellent.

The Sonax stuff I recommended is good if you're leaving the wheels on to seal but you get a better job with them off and a ceramic sealant will last longer. Current: FF Westminster money pit

Nino even polishes his axle stands.
