Question Looking after Alloys ? - in UK

Appologies if a little off topic.

But I am interested in what methods other E90 users use to keep their car looking great, and especially thier alloys. The day I took delivery of my new E90 lats week, my dealer (Cooper BMW) offered some special paintwork/leather treatment with the expectation that I would only need to wash for the first year or so without polishing waxing. Has anyone else taken this offer up ? - does it really avoid polish waxing.

I have orders some Swissol products for Car Wash, Alloys, and Leather care to get me started - cots me £106, and that without Polish/ Wax products.

What sort of wash Polish/ wax regime do typical users do (Not die hard fanatics) Does anyone use local valet services to save time ? Would you recommend using them ? - I have little/no intyention to send my car through an automatic car wash (I am not sure if the valet service would do just that on the sly !) And what treatment do you use to keep alloys looking good. I don't know if valet services do this.

Appologies,just interested in what attitudes other typical E90 owners in the UK do. And how often

Donny.
