Not really, "tossing off dwarves" is probably a more 'interesting' way to say it.

Anyhoo...

Back on topic...

I've waxed my wheels after cleaning with autoglym high-definition wax, as that's all I had sitting spare (don't like it on paint - not good enough). I usually clean the car so frequently that I don't need to use any wheel cleaner - just car shampoo.

If my wheels are REALLY disgusting I use the Meguire's clinging gel cleaner to ven get up inside the inner rim.

I bought a cheap tin of Autoglym wheel seal which seems to be the equivalent of "pledge" - makes a shine but gives no lasting protection at all.

I'll try the Poorboys next!
