That's ace - the wheels look really good on a dark car IMHO. What products did you use out of interest?

I only used Simoniz wash and wax stuff from Costco in the bucket along with my trusty old wool mitt to wash it - another bucket of clean water to rinse the mitt as I go. Dry it off with microfiber towels and then applied a coat of Autoglym Dark shine polish with my old trusty buffer machine before wiping this off with clean microfiber towels - windows I use Autoglym glass cleaner.In between waxing I use Meguiars Quick Detailer

It is - I'm going to have to look into machine polishing, I've always been wary of cocking it up and doing damage... But that's a great result and I'm envious!

Mines not a particularly good polishing machine (cheap one from Halfords) but makes it easier to apply wax - will be investing a proper Dual Action polisher soon for a proper professional deep shine (DA is less risky than a proper full on polishing machine)
