So despite we trying to keep the wheels clean, over the winter the car had gone 9 weeks without a wash. Last weekend it got a good wash, but noticed little black marks on the alloys despite giving them two washes with Bilberry wheel cleaner, and the wheel woollies treatment. Would a product such as iron x do the trick?

The little black dots sound like tar, but you will no doubt have plenty of brake dust as well. Pretorias are a nightmare for brake dust. So wheels, and the rest of the car will need a going over with both a tar remover such as Tardis, and an iron remover such as Iron X. That should see you right. :smiley:

Cheers Rebecca I was hoping you would know with your vast experience of products and being the testing queen :whistle:
Will get some ordered and hopefully solve my annoyance.

As Bec says, it's sounds like some fallout.
If a fallout remover doesn't shift it try claying them too. Then seal and wax.

Thanks Neil, appreciated, will let you know how I get on.

Finally a decent day to tackle the car, purchased some dodo juice iron ferrous fallout, and what a great job, first treated the wheels with Bilberry juice, the. Washed with wheel woollies, then after rinsing sprayed a small amount of dodo juice on and left for a few minutes, the rinsed. Wheels now back to new.
Definitely recommend.

Nice one C3PO. Sounds like your wheels have really benefitted from a good decontamination. :smiley:
