Poorboys is a fantastic product, the price/performance is excellent.

Ive used alot of the products.

For cleaning alloys i recommend washing them, then use a clay bar with a lube (any make) to get rid of tar marks if you have any, then a polish, then poorboys wheel sealant.

The poorboys ssr1 is a good polish by hand, ex sealant is also good and nattys paste wax, which one depends on the colour.

Also get some of the mircofibre towels and a foam sponge for if you are using a sealant. Also the weave towel is great for drying the car. Also get a lamb wool wash mit for washing.

My steps when doing a full clean.

Wash
dry
polish poorboys ssr1
menzerna final glaze
poorboys ex sealant with carnauba, leave an hour once applying then buff off. Leave 24 hours before more coats or wax.
I used poorboys spray and wipe to clean the car again before waxing.
nattys paste wax blue

Once done, next time wash, dry, wax.

Should keep it nice and shiny looking after washing for a long time. Normal only do the 1st process every six months.

polishedbliss.co.uk is a great site for guides and poorboys stuff.

Buy the Blackfire midnight sun ivory carnuaba wax. By far the best last stage product for the paintwork in its price range.
