Depends how au fait you are with the prep process. If you are happy to do all the above and then apply a nanosealant that requires care and concentration when working with it, Gtechniq C5 Wheel Armour (or something similar if you're more of a CarPro fan etc).
If not, something like Poorboys...
Which means they're not sealed. Suggest cleaning them as best you can, IronX, Tardis, Clay, Polish, IPA wipedown and seal. Then you'll need nothing more than warm soapy water.
40'C wash, non-bio washing liquid, no softener and left to air dry (not machine dry).
This is not true, but has spread recently. People put plenty of worse things in the washing machine.
Lol.
I'm disgusted at myself for saying this, Neil, but this is a repost (epic though it may be). Tom posted it under "eery Senna tribute" I think...

Looking forward to August.
Lilke the banana spray air freshener, but would never use it in the car as I share it with others. Around the house, however... lol. The sealant I'm going to try on the spoiler, as recently Tripple/C2'd the whole car and love the sheeting, beading, looks, so don't...
Interesting Andy/Dave. I felt C2V3 added to the looks of the Panzer, over Tripple. Feel this might be the case with lighter colours, but with reds (pizza boy shuttit ;) ) and other warmer colours it has an effect...
Yet to see dad's, which has had the same combo, but on a very light/clinical blue.
Definitely softer than a nail brush. Something like the soft brush out of a shoe polishing set is ideal. You need very little pressure. And as Andy/Chapppers has said, with quite new cars such as those, I doubt you'll need to get the brush out.
^^^what pizza boy said. Or Gliptone. Both very good leather products. Key is not to get the leather soaking, so damp MFs to dust down, the small amount of cleaner with a very soft brush agitating to a foam. Then wipe down with a damp cloth again.
Most cycle in, so the work car park is made up of what ever is being tested for How to Spend it. Recently had two new R8 V10+, Veyron Super Sports, XKRS x2 few others.
I still think it is to do with darker shades that retain heat. I struggle to see what else it could be. That and the fact that it shows up worse on darker cars, compounding the issue.
You never like any product I recommend - starting to feel it's personal :P
In answer to this, yes, you can paint it on. Several members have either painted it on, or sprayed the area, then used a paint brush to ensure an even coat.
Good question, I have no idea. Instructions are to soak the application in product, how you do this is not included. I'd be asking Rob or DW members. Give me a sec.
