Car is Tornado Red with 18" Monza's.
Valet Pro Bilberry wheel cleaner Good stuff and decent price
FinishKare 1000P Hi-Temp Sealant Never used it so can't comment, always used Poorboys wheel sealant.
Autoglym - Instant Tyre Dressing (He said that this is great for the exterior plastics too) Personally i would recommend Chemical Guys new look trim gel
Autoglym - Super Resin Polish - cheap enough and does the job, not alot more to say about this
Make sure you get yourself some wax otherwise any time spend polishing will be wasted without protecting it in some way.
Anyone else use these and what do you think?
Most importantly its your washing technique(s) that you want to invest time in along with the 2 bucket method, sheepskin washmit and a decent shampoo will see you right.

Was thinking of Sonus Sheepskin Wash Mitt for washing duties.
I thought the FinishKare was the last step in the process, so
Wash (wheels then body)
Super Resin Polish
FinishKare
Do I need to put a wax over the sealant?
Any other recommendations for sponges, mitts, brushes etc?

Sorry bud I assumed as you were opting for the high temp sealant you were using it on your wheels, hence my previous comment.

Colinite 845 is worth a mention too. I've been using this on my tornado red for a few year now and it really is special in my opinion. On my red one the things which made the biggest difference to the overall look was the claying AND a good glaze. The Lusso Creme or Prima Amigo would be my choice as I've used both and both are spot on. The Amigo would probably negate the need for the SRP but its good at masking the swirls and looks superb.
A million and one products and combinations to be honest but the above are what I have found to be the best on the red throughout the years.

wash, polish, glaze, sealant, wax.
i use collinite wax and poorboys glaze for light cars. i think i need some advice on using either the glaze or wax as it wasn't as deep as i thought it might be.
