what to clean alloys with

[The Hoax]

has anybody tried brick acid. same weak sulphuric acid as most wheel cleaners at about 0.1 off price 'avialable at most good builders yards'

I use acid patio or brick cleaner regularly on my BBS RAs and it is every bit as good and a helluva lot cheaper than Wonderwheels.

I use el-cheapo Astonish wheel cleaner (£1 a bottle  ) which is very good.

Though at the mo, Im running some shiney-ish TSW Volcanoes on the Polo, which come up 100% with just hot soapy water

Jeyes cleaner is cheapest perhaps. An old fashioned recipe of Carbolic Acid from DIY shops, wholesalers, etc seems to shift dirt and grease off anything. Wouldn't use it often, but great for getting off stuck on muck from your alloys. Also good for getting oil splashes off the drive, etc.

Wonder Wheels is top stuff though, but it also slowly degrades your alloys if uses too often.

Also find tar remover seems to help in lots of situations.

1)Wonder Wheels - but watch it if you have any chipped laquer, as it can get under and list it off !
Otherwise excellent on the brake dust.

2)Autoglym (can we get a club discount !!) Intensive tar remover

3) Followed by Autoglym polish

...Bling!

wheel acid is the best dunno how much it is but we get it off a company called autosmart
we use it on cars at work works wonders good for exhaust aswell if you want it to shine
