An insider tip..............

The best thing for cleaning wheels is WASHING POWDER!!

I kid you not. You won't believe how well it works. Its got such strong degreasing abilities, just brush on and rinse off. (great for tar spots too). Half a cup full in a bucket of hot water, cheaper than all these nasty expensive acid cleaners that sting your eyes etc. (Wonderwheels!)

Wheels are a lot tougher than clothes and they spend hours sloshing round in the stuff.

When I'm going to wax the car, then use washing powder to wash the paintwork. It's gets all the old waxes off down to a squeaky clean surface which dries very quickly. New wax goes on like a dream.

On a new car, don't use polish (abrasives) - just some sort of wax / resin coating (make sure is says 'non abrasive)
