The Wonder wheels is quite a harsh cleaner (not good on Lexus alloys), so you might be better buying a meguiars wheel cleaner or a similar non acid product? or clay the wheels and protect them with a good wheel wax :thumbup1:

Look forward to the pic's of your gleaming motor Big Grin

I don't think those two words were meant to go together, I think he was just adding polish to the list as it wasn't on yours Smile

Well you also need grit guards for your buckets.
And you are better of with a lambs wool wash mit for the car and a microfiber one for the wheels.
You also need to use sealant after you polish it , then apply some wax after that.
