Hi Dunk

Tools to use is simple, paint brushes are ideal, just wrap any metal parts in insulation tape or proper wheel brushes like the Megs spoke brush. As for what product, it does depend on when finish you have, but please don't risk wonder wheels its acid based and if you have any kerb marks, polished or anodised sections (inc nuts) it'll rip the hell out of them.

I have some non acid (alkaline cleaner which is good) or some totally safe stuff though this does need agitating on really dirty parts. Have a look at this link, its the stuff I'm now using and I'm extremely impressed with it, plus its cheap

Hope this helps

If so - I'm up for some mate, I've been using the autoglym stuff since time began. It's good and i've not had any problems.

However when I first got my golf and I had the wheels diamond polished - they lasted mint for about 2 months before the lacquer started breaking down. Probably due to my cleaning products.

Had them refurbished since.

OK guys I'm now in the process of arranging a discount code for you all.

You'll be able to use this code on the site linked above, still negotiating how much discount but fingers crossed it'll be 10%, as soon as I know I'll post it.

I have also asked them to start stocking the wheel brushes, but if that doesn't happen I'll see if I can get a deal from another supplier for you all.

Hope this will be of help, I'm planning on stocking some stuff but its all about cash at the moment and given I've spent close to
