As requested a report on Alloy Wax. Took time out today to give my six spoke SE rims a treat, cleaned as usual then removed rims washed the inner surface and then proceeded to clean and poish with A.W. (Alloy Wax) It's a typical polish type cream and as such easy to use (but don't drop the bottle, it may be plastic but it will shatter![:I]), it removed most of the dirt and grime with ease from the rear rims, but more radical action was required for some of the front rims inner areas where the brake dust had stuck tight, a combination of cutting polish and A.W. worked well. The A.W. polished up easily with very little effort, the effect was instantly visible with a clean Hi shine. I followed the recommendation of washing the newly polished rims with warm water, drying and polishing with a soft cloth, they do look great.
I will let you know how the wax performs over the next few weeks, the instructions do say it should last 2 -3 months, time will tell.
