Another vote for Iron x Bilberry is ok but clean your wheels then spray some iron x on.You will be amazed.

Hi guys - a newbie here so please be gentle
There are lots of TLAs here and product names which i dont understand but really want to!
Can someone kindly help me by explaining wgat they are and what they each do? Sorry to be a PITA!
I like my cars to look the part and use old trusties eg Autoglym, Simoniz, Mer and various alloy wheel cleaner.
I know not apt here, but i used to use Renovo for roof of convertible but changed that to Fabsil and sterilising tabs for cleaning.
Thanks guys
Jim

What exactly do you want to understand Jim, happy to help where I can.
To summaris some of the brands in this thread, there is:

CarPro Iron X - this is a spray liquid that you use to remove iron contaminants from paint and wheels. Spray on, let it work, sponge around, then rinse off.
ValetPro Bilberry - A safe dilutable wheel cleaner for all wheels, cost effective and easy to use. Spray on, agitate, rinse.

Bc, have you tried this product? http://www.waxattack.co.uk/?wpsc-product=wet-glaze-2-0 i'm thinking of ordering some any thoughts

Never used (or heard of for that matter) the wax attack stuff Ady.

To be honest, the Jury is out for me as to whether glazes actually add that much to the finished result.
If its a 'wet' look your after Ady, I'd go for something like Dodo Juice Lime Prime Lite, followed by one of their waxes, maybe Supernatural
(just make sure you check if they are open at the weekend if you decide to pop by and collect them)

Personally, I prefer a sealant look, which allows the pop from the flake in the metallic to shine through
My current favorite is GTechniq C1.5 Silo Seal. ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i

l like the small print comment
Yes ive been looking at the C1.5 but have i read somewhere you can't put it on top of sealant, ive already got supernatural on amongst others, i was just looking for a top up really, my detailer prefers sealants to waxes these days. Thanks for your expert advice as always

Really, I was lead to believe the C1.5 could be used on, and pretty much over anything

I think sealants are the way forward for daily drivers or people with limited time, and dare I say big cars. I do like the finish a wax gives on solid colours like Black and Red, but for me the durability of a sealant wins hands down.  ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i
