So for the moment it's going to have make do with a trip to the carwash, I know, not the best way but I don't have any choice on that.

After visiting the car wash;

I re-cleaned my wheels with wheel cleaner, dried them off then applied a spray polish, they now shine.

Still better than nothing, have to be realistic when cleaning otherwise you will always be disappointed! Clean wheels and windows make the car look a lot cleaner than it really is, so if you only have half hour to get it looking decent do those

Took me over an hour to do all four wheels, a long time I know but I have to sit on a stool these days and take a rest in between.
It was worth the effort, very happy with the results.

As long as it is worth the effort you put in that's all that matters

Absolutely and with some wax on they should be easier to clean next time.
