There are plenty of mild cleaners (like Bilberry, Dodo Juice Mellow Yellow) or even safer use a diluted shampoo mix.

Bilberry is ace as you can vary the concentration and goes a long way.  Use a foaming spray head.

hi will these remove small bits of baked on brake dust and tar like stuff you get on the wheels there not bad because i clean them regular just need something a bit stronger than car shampoo to help shift the more stubborn bits.
