All good stuff you've bought, but there is stuff around the house that can be used rather than paying some of the prices on CYC

No wheels are a "Basturd" to clean, its all about bilberry and some wheel sealant!

Billbery is excellent but it's not a product I would push all the time, Wax is much more important as everyone has their favourite.

Cheers mate :y:
They were Lenso KR5's. No wasn't that hard to clean really, just getting right in the studs was the hardest. Nothing a small brush can't sort out ;)

It depends on how dirty your wheels are really and how often you wash them. I use 1:5 or 1:10 nothing too strong as the wheels are not really too bad. Although if your wheels are sealed well and you regularly wash the car you wont need to use wheel cleaner each time, shampoo will be fine.
