Polish, Super Resin from Auto Glym.

Wheel cleaner, AG Engine and Machine cleaner, polish, then seal with poorboys wheel seal. Then you will only need warm soapy water.

Extra gloss protection for simple sealent, Chem Guys Blitz for better stuff.

Done.

ive been told i shouldnt use some auto glym stuff as its not very good?

im after a clay bar aswell

the wheels have been painted in ford graphite grey if i use that wheel cleaner it wouldnt bring paint off?

Lies. All lies.

Clay bar, Megs quick clay kit from Halfrauds is the quickest and easiest option.

Not engine and machine cleaner, no. But acidic cleaners like Wonder Wheels etc will make the paint look dull.

You won't need to use wheel cleaner all the time.. Just once, then polish/seal the wheels.. Then just soapy water after that..

These threads seem to come up almost daily now.
