I've always used autoglym polish then apply there hd wax and to finish it off autoglym gloss sealant the beading is supreme
The hd wax comes with the applicators and proper cloth to use and the polish comes off effortlessly

Always found AG HD wax difficult to work with, Collinite is a good option from Halfrauds.

Can't imagine it's available at Halfords but I use Swissvax stuff in the summer and then use Gyeon Wet Coat after each wash in the winter. For wheels I recommend Gyeon Rim sealant.

Anything by Auto Finesse or Autobrite.

Incredible stuff. Can't get it at Halfrauds though.

Is it the Samurai wax that you use? Is made especially for Japanese paint finishes & does look pretty good.But you gotta be pretty serious to shell out £75 for some polish.

Bilt Hamber wheel cleaner for me, have to work it / brush it in. Rinse off well.
I'll then detail with Wonder Wheels (nasty strong stuff) on a micro fibre cloth, but gets all the baked on dust and tar spots off. Rinse off well.
Lastly 2 coats of Poorboys alloy wheel sealant. Job done......blingy wheels!
