Carlack Wheel Cleaner + Meguiars NXT All Metal Polish

At the weekend I had a go at cleaning my brothers Vauxhall Astra's alloys.

This is what I was greeted with. A rather dirty alloy although not as dirty as a lot of the wheels you see on others cars.

The finish is a polished metal which are slightly kerbed but not too badly.

First a light spray of Carlack Wheel Cleaner. Which was worked in using a Vikan Wheel Brush. The wheels were then rinsed with water and given a quick dry using a Sonus Der Wunder drying microfibre cloth.

Then using an Ultimate Ultra-Plush Buffing Cloth I applied Meguiars NXT All Metal Polish working it in to the wheel. This was left for 15 minutes to dry before I buffed off using another Ultimate Ultra-Plush Buffing Cloth.

I then dressed the tyres using Chemical Guys New Look Trim Gel using an Induro-Brush #4 Tyre Dressing Applicator.

The finished product is this:
