Spautopia Restore and Wheel Guard

There’s no all-in-one solution to washing and protecting your wheels, but with these two new products from Spautopia, you should have all the cleaning and defensive power you need.

Restore is a liquid that has been designed by the Leistershire-based company to treat all kinds of wheel – whether they’re alloy, polished, chrome, painted or steel.

The special formula doesn’t contain oxalic acid, so it’s non-abrasive and doesn’t need to be scrubbed, either.

Whether you live in a hard or soft water area, it promises to leave a streak-free, shiny finish.

With the rim clean, Spautopia’s next new product gets to work.

Wheel Guard is a tough, crystal-clear coating, and is said to be durable enough to stop brake dust build-up.

The one-part self-levelling sealant protects aluminium, chrome and alloy wheels from corrosion and oxidation, so you can keep your car looking shiny from the ground up.

A 60ml bottle is just under £20; Restore costs £15 for 500ml.
