Yea, cheapest is Woolies - Diggers use tones of the stuff on their uniforms, just like toothpaste with a bit of polish, works great!

From all accounts, Autosol is the Bees Knees of polish...

I've used it, and it works damn fine...The truckies love it for polishing their truck bling too :P

I use it on the alloy wheels of the karts. works great but not without effort I might add. Can someone Pleeeeaaaassssee find a wipe on, wipe off alloy cleaner/polish. The ones I have tried don't work. I did notice the other day an advert for alloy wheel cleaner that sprayed on and this is supposed tp remove all the brake grime etc, anyone used anything like this?

yeah me and my old man use this stuff on our other cars, it does the trick. the stuff we use is "Kitten: Wheel Cleaner"... imaginative name i know. but u can get it from woolies or repco and places like that.
you get a better result if you use this and then when its dry giv it a once over with a light soft cloth, comes up as good as gold. 8)
hope this helps
