Cleaning my new Punto

Hi all.

Just traded my little clio in for a '07 Fiat Grande Punto. It's a light blue/grey colour so was just wondering what to use to get it looking good and ready for the winter. Here's a list of stuff I have in the garage:

AG SRP
Turtle Wax
DoDo Juice Blue Velvet
Auto Finesse Mint Rims

I've used the Mint Rims a few times on the MiTo but should I buy some sealent for them to protect them during winter

Here's the colour of the Punto:

Mint Rims is a wheel wax. Smells quite nice haha.

Was just wondering because of the light colour thought I'd need different products.

Light colours work very well with sealants (e.g. Acrylics like Car-Lack) or Black Hole. They are EXTREMELY long lasting. You can then top up with a conventional wax every couple of months or a spray wax like Megs Ultimate Quick Wax after washing.

Cool. Bought some Dodo Juice Diamond White to try but haven't had time to put it on due to work.

Isn't Black Hole a glaze?

Woops, sorry I meant Blackfire not Black Hole

The former is a sealant, the latter a glaze.
