Just to get back onto topic... Swissoil do a very good wheel cleaning kit that seems to work well and certainly reduces the amount of painful finger work required. Of course, you really need to take each wheel off to clean it properly inside and out, and while you are there you poke around inside the wheel arch and clean up suspension/dampers, grease a few joints, start repainting bits and before you know it the restoration has started again! :lol:

Whilst at Goodwood over the weekend we picked up a tub of 'Luster Lace' a German product (by the look of it) designed to be used on round and tubular objects! We'll give it a go on the 365 wheels soon, but I wonder if anyone has tried it before? We got it from the stand of LB Restoration services (in Cornwall), but the tub has a maker's website on it:

or more directly:

Anyone used this sort of thing before?

I've seen this product before and wondered if it would get down to the base of the spoke by the rim of the wheel. That is the area that causes the most pain in the fingers!
