Got a brand new Fiesta, love cleaning it every week now. Got meguires shampoo, 2 buckets, lambs wool mitt, collignite 845, applicator pads & microfibre towels of various sizes.
Struggling with the wheels a bit.
Was thinking this combo...

EZ Detail Brushes EZBS Detail Car Alloy Wheel and Motorbike Cleaning Brush, Small https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00O4R0TOC/ref=cm_sw_r...

Anpro 6pcs Auto Detailing Brush Set with 2 Car Wax Sponge Pads for Cleaning Wheels, Interior, Exterior, Leather, Air Vents, Emblems https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B074T6DKLT/ref=cm_sw_r...

Bilt Hamber Auto Wheel Cleaner 1 Litre https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00871509U/ref=cm_sw_r...


Also can anyone recommend a decent wheel was/protector and also anything else I might need please?

Thanks in advance

I've still got some bilberry cleaner I've had for years. You can use fallout remover to get rid of stuck on brake dust, but do not use regularly.

For a protector, raceglaze wheel sealant, really easy to use and lasts a few months before needing top up.

I seriously recommend the bilt hamber wheel cleaner, I always use it on my cupra wheels which seem to get caked in brake dust.

I don’t typically bother with wheel protectors as in my past experience they haven’t been that effective.

Ez Daytona wheel brush - it will last longer than the blue bristled Ez brush as it has a thicker shaft (suit you sir!)
Autosmart smart wheels for regular cleaning - dilutes down to whatever strength you want making it very economical.
Bilt Hamber autowheel or Gtechniq W6 for decon as/when required.

Cheers,

Chris

BH Autowheel is basically a thicker fallout remover with a few added detergents.

Its very good but I would be hesitant to use for every wash, a few times a year maybe.

Another vote for BH Auto Wheel here.... I use it diluted 50/50 and still works well, but again, its generally not needed on every wash.. as in most cases the snow foam takes off the majority.

AS for Brushes, again.. EZ detail MINI is great for getting between the caliper and the wheel and under the heat shield. I don't use them on the faces tho, I use a Detail Factory soft detailing brush for the tight areas around the valves and wheel nuts, and Microfibre finger mitt for the rest.
