now THAT is a shiny wheel. How often do you need to polish them in winter?

I wouldnt imagine John would use that car much during the winter? Certainly not with those wheels on it anyway! Mine are much easier to keep clean s they are just 1 piece with a much smaller lip, with Autosol I need to polish them every week, sometimes twice a week as its a daily driver. Hopefully this Mothers stuff will keep them shiney a bit longer!

As long as you give them a dry wipe at the end of each day, with a micro fibre cloth, you will not have to polish them often.
Make sure you chamois them at the end of the day if they are wet. Its more difficult for the dished wheels as the water and dust has some where to sit. Personally i would say autosol is too harsh, especially if the wheels have been polished to a high finish, over time you will see fine scratches with autosol.
The ones i can recommend from experience is Wadding for pitted surfaces and Alu magic from www.frost.co.uk
For more information try www.pureklas.co.uk , the gallery is great and very helpful lad.
