Winter Alloy Wheel Protection.
#21
My 2p on this... I did a mini-test of alloy cleaners a bit back, I've settled on the Porsche Tequipment one from Auto-Fanatics - truth be known it is made by P21s but comes in a lovely kit with lots of different shaped brushes to even clean behind the spokes and so on I like it because it it is extremely mild to the wheels (you can leave it on up to 4 hours) and having used Autoglyms "acid in a bottle" before now this makes me a little more relaxed I also tried the Zymol wheel cleaner, again very mild, no acids etc. but a bit less effective than the P21S stuff. You just spray it on, leave it a few minutes and the brake dust wipes off with a sponge - piece of cake.
I've got the Zymol wheel coat protective spray but IMO in only does the job for a couple of days, I've taken to using their wax products on the alloys now and this really leaves them very shiny and seems to stop dirt and dust bonding to the alloys too.

Thanks for all the input. Next time I clean the car I'm going to get the wheels pristine and then try waxing them. It seems as good as any idea for protection so far.
