I use the wheel wax - it is very good - easy to apply, but you really need to get the wheels spotless and dry, off the car, and apply several coats for the full effect.  Brake dust just wipes off with your finger...but needs to be kept clean to make the effort of waxing wheels productive.

I think, 99% sure, I am now going "darn saff" on Sunday for Lex body mod, so don't think I'll be going to the national - a pity as I was 99% sure of going too.

My car had been "detailed" (SO hate that term, another Americanism creeping into UK language) using all of the above products the day before F & M, so decided that since they appeared to be so good I would buy & use them myself.

I used a guy over in Grangemouth who is friendly with Rich from Polished Bliss - indeed he was part of the Polished Bliss stand @ F&M. This bloke had been up since early-o'clock that Saturday cleaning cars so by the time I got there @ 4pm he was knackered.

So I used his supplies and done most of the cleaning myself, with him keeping a watchfull eye. Got to say, the biggest difference I found was using those microfibre waffle-weave towels, instead of those bright yellow dusters I normally use to apply/remove the polishes & waxes. You can get them for about £12 for a pack of 3, but I found out during the week Tesco sell exactly the same things for a £1 each - and they can go in the washing machine (as long as you dont use softener).

The Blackfire was an absolute doddle to use - we used the ClearKote Application sponges to put it on with then the microfibre towels to remove - done the whole car in about 20 mins (probably because it was absolutely scorching).

Fingers crossed i'm going to go over the whole car again this saturday with the red glaze and the Blackfire, so the car will be nice & shiny for Alford on Sunday. (hope it doesn't rain)
