Actually it was Chemical Guys 'cirtruswash+gloss' followed by 'xxx Hard Core Paste' (pure 3x Carnauba + Advanced Polymer)

Oooh, The machine of a dream, such a clean machine With the pistons a pumpin', and the alloys all gleam, When I'm holding your wheel, All I hear is your gear, With my hand on your grease gun, Mmm it's like a disease son, I'm in love with my car, gotta feel for my automobile, Get a grip on my .......

My wheels are no great shakes anyway, they're as good as they're going to be if I spent 5 minutes on each or 50!
