For the tiny gaps inbetween the spokes on both my BMW MV2 and MV4 wheels, I use the smallest detailing brush I have, which basically looks like a glorified paintbrush. I also have a soft Vikan wheel brush which I sometimes use for the same task as the detailing brush if I want to do the same job in a bit of a rush. Aside from that I also have a Temu special wheel mitt for the main part of the wheels and an EZ Detailing brush for the barrels and arches.
I've used P&S Beadmaker a couple of times recently after it has been sat at the back of the cupboard for ages. There is definitely something to it as the first time I used it this year I got comments on the shine even though I always use some kind of detail spray after a wash. I just remember not being at all impressed by the hydrophobics on the roof/bonnet/boot and I think it was a bit of a dust/pollen magnet. I think if such a thing as a completely dry week existed in this country I'd probably use Beadmaker a bit more.
For the winter months I used a concoction of Sonax BSD mixed 70/30 with Gyeon QD. BSD for the hyrophobics in the rain with Gyeon mixed in to add a bit of slickness and gloss as BSD isn't known for either. No adverse effects that I noticed by mixing them together. For spring/summer I'll likely go back to by old favourite which is Soft 99 Fusso Coat Speed & Barrier, but I don't use it as a drying aid, so it requires an additional step which you can usually afford in the dryer months.
