for wheels i personally use bilberry wheel acid free wheel cleaner, awsome stuff that wont harm them. once clean give them a coat of finish kare 1000p to protect them. once they are protected you should be able to keep them clean with just car shampoo and water

depends on you're budget fella!!!!

i use a mix of meguiers/Autoglym/turtle wax!!!

and the misses uses Meguiers on her saxo!!!

if you can only afford the turtle wax stuff you will need to polish it more than the others and as you get dearer, as im lead to belive you polish/wax less often!!!!

as for wheels .........Tesco's own or poundland lol, and you can get wheel wax from Megs/Autoglym and turtle wax to give them some protection

check out www.deatailingworld.com and halfrauds sells the Megs Autoglym and Turtle wax

hope this helps and welcome to the site
