Touch up paint and alloy cleaner..
 
Could someone recommend me both? Tried Halfruads for touch up but they don't do Scoobs.. and would like to try a new alloy cleaner as i find wonder wheels a bit too strong and it seems to remove laquer...

Halford do do scoobs. You have to ask them to make it up. Alternatively try dr colourchip.

For wheel cleaner go for megs wheel brightner. A good strong cleaner but not as harsh as WW. Or another big favourite in the detailing world is bilberry. Both are very good.

WW won't remove lacquer though. What it will do is get behind it if there's a chip and corrode the alloy underneath forcing the lacquer off.

+1 for Bilberry. Smells the business as well.

My advice would be to contact Subaru with your chassis number for the touch up paint, regarding the wheel cleaner I'm not a fan, you are better off giving them a once over IE polish clay etc then use a good wheel sealant to seal the wheels then just use a normal shampoo to clean, in the long run this will save you time and money :)

i use muck off alloy cleaner as its good for the wheels and enviroment, quite cheap for size of bottle.
