Not really necessary to polish the wheels IMO, i have never polished wheels, i see little point as a decent clean with bilberry and shampoo will bring them up a treat.

Yes i would seal the wheels with Jetseal 109, forgot to add this

I prefer a wash mitt as opposed to a Zymol Sponge but Zymol sponge's are very good and used by many

agreed mate , a sponge regardless of brand will trap dirt between it and the surface , where a mitt will lift dirt away from the surace and absorb it so you wont be pushing harsh particles of ****** into your paint lol

thanks for the advice jay, so far i have washed and jetsealed the wheels but its fair to say they need repainting the inside of the alloys are shockingly bad

also washed and clayed the car and about to dry it then to polish
