About this deal

For our test we applied a range of products to a large wheel, and monitored grime build-up over six weeks. We took price into account, including the long-lasting nature of hard waxes, and how easy they were to apply. Verdict Our team of experts combines decades of experience of not just testing, but also simply messing about with cars, and we know the frustrations of products that don’t work, and the delight of ones that do.

We spend so much time selecting alloys when we get the chance, it would be a shame to wrap them in grey, tired-looking rubber. A good scrub may remove the grime but, unless the tyres are pretty new, it won’t restore a deep shine. During our test, we timed each unit while it pumped from 20-30psi on a 15-inch tyre, and then as it added 5psi to a space-saver tyre already inflated to 60psi. We marked each compressor for noise, hose and power-cord length, clear displays, easy-to-use controls, extras such as adaptors and cases, plus price. A winner more than a decade ago, there’s something pleasingly old school about this hard wheel wax. It may have won in the past, but it has been up and down since then. Conditions obviously suited it this year, given that it was able to match our champion on the rim. Application is just like a bodywork wax: apply, and buff after five minutes. One for the wheel-wax purists.Polishing your car is a great way to fade small scratches and imperfections. Find out how with our handy guide. We were particularly keen to make this test happen, because Philips had just increased performance levels with a bulb that promised 200 per cent more light in the beam, up from 150 per cent before. Our test of 225/45 R17 rubber was hit by the same travel restrictions as the winter tyres, with braking being the sole dry run we conducted, but we managed to complete all the other tests in Ivalo, Finland, and Hanover, Germany. This sector is growing fast, and several makers were unable to take part because they have new designs launching later in 2021.

The Wonder Wheels Wheel Sealant is a revolutionary instant wheel sealant which leaves an invisible, protective shield over the wheel surfaces, creating a barrier against the build-up of stubborn break dust, road grime and dirt. With these products nigh-on impossible to separate on washing performance alone, we looked for those that leave the least amount of water on the car to be taken off with a drying towel or leather. We also got the calculator out to determine the cost of each wash, because this can vary wildly. Specialist sealants can keep your alloy wheels cleaner for longer, reducing the amount of washing you need to do. Once applied Wheel Seal keeps wheels clean for up to four weeks, sealing & protecting the surface, making the wheels much easier to clean next time round Auto Finesse’s wheel wax is a tough synthetic wax that creates a hard-working barrier against the corrosive contaminants that cling onto wheels. A paste wax such as Auto Finesse Mint Rims gets our top choice for balancing durability with ease of application. Wheel cleaners and treatments have a justified reputation for smelling terrible but Mint Rims smells of…mint.While the bulk of our testing saw little change in 2020, that wasn’t true of tyres. Our annual test of the tyres most UK drivers use – known as summer designs in the rest of Europe – was split across three countries, so we thank Goodyear for making the logistics work. A soft rag will be fine for removing the top layer of dirt, but for best results, like a dedicated wheel cleaner, use a wheel brush. A wheel brush usually has soft bristles to reach all crevices of even intricate alloy wheels a>


They’re very popular and we’ve rated almost 30 over the past year, some recording only the front view, while others capture what is going on around – and even inside – the car. Wonder Wheels Original is the number one selling and multiple award winning alloy wheel cleaner. It is designed to cut through dirt, grease and brake dust instantly. For use on lacquered heels, steel wheels and plastic wheel trims with outstanding results.

The name is not the only similarity between this category and the waxes and sealants for paintwork, because the same fight between different formulas continues. On paint, traditional waxes have retained their advantage, but on wheels, where the coatings have to cope with heat from the brakes, new sealants have had the edge in our tests. How we tested them The US producer pioneered this form of sealant for wheel rims following the success of its Shield product for automotive body paint. As with all of Armor All’s competitors here, there’s a bit more effort required to apply Brake Dust Repellent, which again needs the wheel to be thoroughly cleaned first. Also, the treated item has to be left for at least an hour without being touched. Overnight is best if you can spare the time. Armor All claims that Brake Dust Repellent lasts only four weeks, yet we saw that it was still working after six, if not quite so effectively as our winning Wonder Wheels. The competition has caught up, but this is still a great product.We weren’t just looking for a wheel wax that was easy to apply; it also had to last. After cleaning our test car’s wheels, we divided the driver’s side front rim, leaving one section untreated. We used our usual figure of merit (FOM), combining readings at 50 and 75 metres in front of the car, plus non-alignment-dependent tests for beam length, brightest spot and the amount of light above 20 lux to give a percentage rating. Prices are for two bulbs, including any current discounts.
