 Hand held steam cleaner takes it off really well, then I finish with Poorboys wheel sealant

just go gentle with wire wool. I'd be amazed if you need anything more that Autosol on a cloth. Also if you have a clay bar that'll work a treat too. If you don't send me your address and I'll send you a piece.

Got this...
I'll clean them and wipe with a cloth first to see if I think just Autosol and a cloth will do it :)
Will post before and after pics when I can, just a busy at work at the moment and waiting to get the Golf lol :)
