Alloy Wheel Cleaner

[Rob GTi]

Just given the first spring wash to my 1.8T, alloys as always have got some brake dust that will just not come off.
Anybody got any ideas as to where i can get some decent alloy wheel cleaner or do i just have to get a wire brush and scrub and scrub and scrub!!!!
Cheers.

Ive found a rounded piece of plastic is realy good for hose stubborn bits of brake dust

i use diesel fuel or parafin. My wheels get soo clean that they have a wierd glow in the dark

Can get hold of some WaxWizard MC2 Citrus wheel cleaner if you are interested. UKMkIV/TTforum/SeatCupra/BriSkoda rave about it. Comes in a 5L container and you dilute it down so you actually make about 50+ Litres of the stuff.

Wonder wheels is OK butdon't use it frequently as it is quite strong.

email me if you are interested for more details.

I find Halfords bug and tar remover works well

When I want to bring up my wheels to look a bit bling I've used a good cut and shine just to polish them up and this should take off the crap, if you look at my sig pic I'd just done them for VW action in June, they fooled jv as he thought I'd had them refurbed   Mine are polished anyway so that probably makes a difference.

I still find a bucket and sponge the best thing for mine. Don't let brake dust build up and sit there for too long and it always removes the little that's left.
