              The Scratch X is for all panels as well, never used the UC so cant comment on that

                Really great job Gaz (I am impressed) now do as Tox says and get them protected. Yes Chris the Megs UC works on the wheels as well as the paintwork :-D

                  Polished using SRP then used AB seal and protect so should be good now

                    These alloys do scratch very easily
                    I would advocate a Ceramic Sealer instead of a conventional one
                    I use Carbon Collective Platinum Wheels Ceramic Wheel Sealer
                    Very easy to apply and will last up to 2 years

                          Has anyone tried this? is it worth the purchase compared to others on the market?

                            I have the Mint Rims and my personal opinion is there are better alloy protectants for the money. Smells divine though.
                            Robbo51's Carbon Collective ceramic sealant recommendation should be looked at instead.
