often find that the cheaper stuff fades away faster, but with the summer months (if the rain starts to stop) it should last well anyway!

try the spray can wheel cleaner by that company, it works really well. tried it on my wheels after about 6 weeks of neglect and they came out sparkling, not sure on what chemicals are in it but for a once-in-a-while deep clean i would recommend. great price as well i think it was £1.50.

You drive i assume, don't whine about a spray can.

Also use this Asda gear lol, works a treat for a few weeks... fades quick, but in summer can't argue as you wash it most weekends
