Hi folks, I'm getting a new Mini Cooper this Tuesday in Moonwalk Grey and Black Roof.
Who can give me an idea of best products to buy for keeping him clean.

I use Rain X on the glass, £3 for a 500ml spray bottle from ASDA.
I use Poorboys Wheel Sealer on the wheels and it protects them lovely from grime, grit, brake dust etc.
Two or three coats will protect the wheels for months.

My wheels went from this....

....after just a blast with the jetwash and a wipe o'er with some shampoo.
The wheels had not been touched since last December.

...enjoy the journey.
