Wheels had just been refurbed, did them in halfords gloss white which is whiter than the standard rallye wheel colour and much improves the appearance I feel

Go to halfords buy a decent sponge, then look at the range of AG or MEGS. Buy correct shampoo and interior cleaner/conditioner
Also invest in a chamois leather and maybe some polish?
Then get a bucket and some water and use Edds custom branded elbow grease

Chamois dont suck up a lot off water but the microfibre cloths do.

Sponges is my personel hate i have ran a spong down a black bmw with a stone lodged in the sponge and you can guess what happend. wash mits are good can clean all the little places.
