Alloy wheel cleaner

Hi Folks,
Just wondering has anyone come across any good effective product for cleaning Alloy Wheels?

I think Lidl might be doing an offer on a wheel cleaner this week (Thursday).

You can buy them in Halfords, Atlantic etc, Turtle Wax do a good one. Be very careful though, if you leave them on too long they can damage the finish on the alloy.

A good tip is when the alloy is clean and dry give it two coats of car wax and polish off. This creates a barrier between the alloy and the brakedust\dirt and makes it easier to clean next time.

I've used "Wonder Wheels" and found it very good.

Isn't wiping the alloys with cloth dipped in diesel or petrol do the same job? - then rinse well with water and car wash??


I remember my cousin got a 5 gallon drum of stuff from his mate in the motor trade. This removed tar etc very quickly - cant remember what it was though
