How can I stop my alloys getting dirty so quickly?
I own a Focus ST which has factory silver grey 19-inch alloys. The trouble is once cleaned they are filthy in a few days and virtually black in about a week. I've tried car polish on them but the result is still the same. I end up cleaning them twice a week.
Any suggestions?

We've seen a few Fords with very dirty alloy wheels - it seems to be down to the brake pads used. There is a way to keep the dirt at bay for a bit longer and that's to use an alloy wheel sealant, like Wonder Wheels Wheel Sealant. Apply it after giving them a thorough clean and it should help slow down the build-up of dirt.

Which is the best product for polishing/preserving alloy wheels?
I used my Mazda 6 for a journey back from the continent and during the trip one disk pad wore out. There is now a deposit of steel powder on the alloy wheel which I can't remove. Can you suggest how?

Fast and affordable for daily use. Available as a hatch or estate. Diesel is the same price as petrol. Easier to live with than previous model.
