Does anyone know of a good wheel brush to get the inside rims clean? (Not something I would usually do, but having the 20" style 6, they show a fair bit of the rim), and they do look good clean.

I use a microfibre no metal wheel brush, google it, only a few quid, doesn't last forever but beats a brush, it'll be ideal for the Style 4 + 6, but no good for Style 5 as no good for small detailed places. There are other better makes but a lot more expensive.

I use PB wheel woolies. They're not cheap but have some distinct advantages over traditional bristle brushes i.e. you do not get covered in "sprayback" of dirty soap as the bristle flicks back to position off the spoke.

I use meguairs wheel brightener. Just dilute it 10:1 and spray on wheel and let it soak for 30 secs. Cleans ALL brake dust off from wheel with just a gentle stream of water and does not require any brushing at all. Very happy with its performance. Very economical too. http://www.meguiars.com.au/products/detailer/wheel-brightener/

Thats the one WB, great for cleaning the style 4's. Has just started to shed blue fibres but still plenty of life and great for the price, just wont get in the spokes of the style 5's, thats where the set of 3 from polished bliss looks useful...

Finally got the winters out of storage so did a quick check to see how the gTechniq C5 treatment from above has applied. Looks pretty good!

Repeat process on the summer wheels, I had covered these in Carnauba wax before fitting and this made the cleaning process, particularly on the backs much much easier, and not a sign of any corrosion like I had on the winters (but then no salt either!) I would definitely recommend treating wheels having seen the difference.
Now the intention is to gTechniq them also
Removed from car,
Washed with shampoo
Washed and brushed with Turtle Wax ICE.
Washed with Surfex HD (to remove old wax)
IPA will be done, before applying C5
