Duraglit is useless,

i use this stuff,the shine lasts well as it has anti corrosive agents in it so brake dust just wipes off

There may be better products out there so im watching this thread,

What wheels are they?

Lasts about a month of daily driving then it starts to go dull,but a quick going over with the megs brings them back to life with ease,
