The turtle wax tyre dressing is good stuff I have used it in the past ,it's more like a cream than the usual liquid dressings and does last a good while too
Interesting you say it's like a cream? It's a clear liquid? I'd say more like an oil? Wonder if we're using the same?

I don't have any left ,and now using autiglym stuff as I managed to get 5 litre
for £20 ,but I am sure the turtle wax was a white cream similar to shampoo consistency,they may do different types of tyre stuff?

I need one of these in my life!
Used to use one of the brushes on a stick, which left you full of brake dust splatter. Cue a few ruined t shirts and trousers
I now use a microfibre sponge, but using this on the front wheels is terrible as you end up cutting your hand on the brake disc Shields when putting your hands through the spokes
For £4 it seems a good buy, cheers

... now the best £8 spent... also picked up a microfibre glove which will be great for grabbing the back sides of the wheel spokes...

+1 for the brush/ long mit I have one for my wheels and I agree it is brilliant at getting the whole wheel clean especially the 5 spoke spilt rim I have as you can see right inside the wheel they are lovely but at the same time a nightmare for keeping clean

I have used many different makes over the years, but I have found this is the best by far. My mate buys this for use at his body shop

Just looked in morrisons for the blue one and it came up as £2 on the self service till. I would have took the lot but couldn't be arsed walking all the way back. Will Defo make cleaning the MV2s a lot easier.

I got one of these microfiber sticks from halfords and it broke on me after 10 mins! Maybe I'll try a Morrison's one. I'm tired of getting the cut knuckles.

If your fastidious with your alloys then it really is worth investing in a few Wheel Woolies brushes of various shapes and sizes.

Soft, synthetic wool brushes that hold loads of suds mounted on long, flexible nylon handles. They easily reach right through the barrel to the inner rim and the cranked brush gets behind spokes and round calipers etc. Three different sizes squeeze in most nooks and crannies. Not cheap but I've had mine for a couple of years now and still going strong.

... this could get expensive very quickly, hence the value in the halfords items.
On the wheel stick I had to cut about 1cm off each flat side of foam so that it would clear the calipers and brake guard, but thats for 18s.
The finger glove mit is fantastic though, will stock up on a few of those
