Wonderwheels os OK , but don't use it too often .Once you've got them nice and clean and as new 
treat them like you would the bodywork by regular cleaning and waxing/polishing , this will make it easy to just wash off any muck in the same way you would the rest of the car

I think Halfords have reduced the 1 litre bottle to £7.99 permanently.

I use wonder wheels myself, although I have heard some people having problems with discolouration of brake calipers with it, no problems myself, but a little care when applying it near the calipers may be wise.

Has anyone with Gold wheels experienced any problems (i.e. paint fading / coming off) when using wonder wheels?
I used WW on my old silver alloys and was very impressed with it but a bit scared using it on the gold alloys.

wonderwheels £10 for 5 litres fom costco
to be fair I also use the turtle wax stuff which I find just as good
best idea is to buy a pastry brush - then spray the wheels and get right into the corners of the wheels with the brush, easy with the right tools
