Best cleaning product to clean alloys?

[scoss]

Need to seriously spend some attention on my alloys. Road dust/tar etc.

Just checking to see what most recommend?
Also what tyre shine product would you recommend? Currently use auto glym tyre dressing.

Thanks

I have not seen Halfrauds selling them.

Is the tyre polish a spray?

It is gel based but you can also get it in a spray bottle.

Awesome! Do you apply this with a sponge or MF cloth?

Sponge to get the 'wet' look. 2 layers 20/30 mins apart to get the best results.

eBay's not a bad place to look either @scoss if your not in a hurry

Do share the before and after pics, I am sure BH won't disappoint. Well, not just BH but all the products you've bought are top-class.

Once you run out I'd simply I'd replace Gyeon Tar with CarPro TarX and/or Trix Iron and Tar Remover or BH Korrosol, these are much better products compared to Q2m Tar.

How much tyre shine gel do you apply to the sponge? Quite a bit?

How much tyre shine gel do you apply to the sponge? Quite a bit?

Completely depends on how much 'gloss' I want. But yes, quite a bit-ish. I squirt the gel on to the pads two/three times while doing one tyre. You'd need quite a bit on the first tyre as the past would be new at the time, you shouldn't be needing that much after that.

Second pass is usually with using little gel on the tyre once.
