Hey

So how are people looking after their wheels?

My previous car was a Mini JCW with gloss black alloys. Our R-Design now has Diamond cut alloys and the product I used before may not be suitable (not sure they are lacquered and don’t want to take chance). What’s the go-to product that gives good results on Diamond cuts?

I used this product on my xc60 diamond cuts & will use it on my inscription Pro that I collect next week. Find it a really good product never had any issues as it’s not acid based

Thanks. I will reassess then. If it all goes pear shaped, can I tell my dealer Mark123 said it was ok😂

I use valet pro bilberry on my T4 R-Design Pro wheels and have been using it for the past 7 year on my previous car a Golf GTI with diamond cut Austin alloys with no problems. I also put a coat of G Techniq C5 on alloys every 7 to 8 months.

I use exactly the same shampoo as I do on the rest of the car. Basically anything at the supermarket that isn't from CarPlan.

I use Gtechniq C5 alloy wheel armour for diamond cut wheels. It is a coating which lasts about one year so very durable.
