What alloy wheel cleaner do you lot use
I have experimented with all types of alloy wheel cleaner, and have never got one that i feel does the job properly
what do you guys use??
My Mondeo seems to kick out a lot of dust on the front, and the wheels are a real pita to clean
And i do not want to stick those rubber inner spats on !!

Wilkos own brand for my cars annual wash.
I hear that there are wheel 'waxes' to can buy so that the dust doesn't stick so its easier to wash off. But never bothered
researching it as I don't look after my car as much as I should

"Wonderwheels" is what I've used for years. Spray/paint it on, leave for 5 mins then rinse off.
It contains some type of acid so it mustn't be left on too long.
Leaves wheels like new with minimum effort..

with regards to my tintop. I pay a little five foot nothing polish man £10 and he sorts the rest out. car comes back washed polished, hovered in and
out much better than I could be bothered to do. he even bags up all the rubbish and leaves it in the boot so I can sift out my receipts for my
expenses.

I use Simple Green and a soft brush. Does an excellent job for everyday cleaning but won't touch the old burned in "tobacco stain"
type grime that brake dust seems to cause after a few years. Never had any luck finding something to clean that up properly without damaging the paint
finish.

Bilberry wheel cleaner, Non acidic so doesnt attack the laquer. Spray on, leave for 5 mins, rinse off.
Looks good enough to drink too!
