I use my car daily and on the motorway so the car front wheels are normally very black with brake dust and the sides of the car and the boot are caked in road rubbish that gets kicked up. Seeing the car is actually blue after that is good. Spent a long time on the wheels thought. After washing them I used wonder wheels to get the brake dust/tar bits off the corners of the alloy spokes then rewashed the wheels again to ensure all the wonder wheels was off. After that I then put some car polish on them and left it on 10 mins or so then took it off. Doing this seems to make them clean a lot easier and keeps them in good nick. Ideally they could do with refurbing because the previous owner didnt know the difference between a kerb and a road but theyre good enough for me for now..

You should well know by now that I like my Zymol. I did try the Jeff's stuff but it lacks in protection IMHO. I found crap stuck to the paint more after a Jeffs treatment.

How many coats of Werkstat did you use? You'll generally find that sealants have alot less crap stick to them than a wax. I know my 1 gets contaminated quicker with zymol Vintage on it compared to Werkstat or a similair sealant.
Car looks great mate, but you forgot to dress the tyres and polish the exhaust
