I used Wonder Wheels wheel wax.

Has done the job so far and was about £8?

Buy four of these, though I would imagine the handling would be crap! :lol:

Mmmm, shoes..... :oops:

As for wheels, just bung some wax on them, if you use a decent wax for you paint, use it on your wheels too. After all, they are just painted metal, same as your bodywork.

A decent hard wearing wax will be fine, such as Collinite or Autogym HD. You could spend extra money on specific wheel wax (such as "rim wax" :mrgreen: ), but personally i cant see the point.

There's a wealth of prducts out there from £5 upto £60-70!!

I use Auto Glym Spray Wheel Seal, good stuff, just sprak it on and that's it.
i like the sound of this - does it just make it easier to clean brake dust off etc?
